Gopher Problems Near Pomona — Cal Poly Pomona, Puente Hills, and Golf Courses

Pomona sits at the eastern edge of the San Gabriel Valley where the valley floor meets the Puente Hills to the south and the San Gabriel Mountains foothills to the north. Cal Poly Pomona's enormous campus — one of the largest in the Cal State system — is the most significant single gopher source in the city, but the Puente Hills terrain, multiple golf courses, and the Fairplex grounds all contribute to widespread gopher activity throughout Pomona's residential neighborhoods.

The Main Gopher Sources in Pomona

Cal Poly Pomona is one of the largest university campuses in California by land area, covering over 1,400 acres including the university's working farm — Kellogg Ranch. The campus maintains extensive irrigated grounds, athletic fields, ornamental plantings, and the farm's agricultural terrain — all of which are prime gopher habitat. A campus of this scale with an active agricultural component sustains a very large gopher population that pushes into the surrounding residential neighborhoods on all sides. The residential communities along Temple Avenue, Kellogg Drive, and the neighborhoods bordering the campus's extensive perimeter are most directly affected by this source.

Puente Hills terrain — the Puente Hills form Pomona's southern boundary with natural open space that sustains gopher populations pressing northward into the city's southern residential neighborhoods. The Puente Hills Preserve and the undeveloped terrain of the hills' northern face provides natural gopher habitat adjacent to the communities along Diamond Bar Boulevard and the southern residential streets of Pomona bordering the hills.

Mountain Meadows Golf Course is a public 18-hole course in northern Pomona with irrigated fairways that sustain an established gopher population. The surrounding residential neighborhoods in this area see consistent year-round activity from the course's populations.

Los Angeles County Fairplex — the Pomona Fairgrounds occupies 487 acres with maintained grounds, event turf, and the extensive landscape infrastructure of a major county facility. The fairgrounds' grounds sustain gopher populations that affect the surrounding residential neighborhoods throughout the year, with activity particularly notable in the residential areas immediately adjacent to the grounds.

Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park on Pomona's northeastern border with San Dimas preserves nearly 2,000 acres including Puddingstone Reservoir and extensive natural terrain. The park's grassland and open space habitat sustains natural gopher populations adjacent to the Pomona residential communities along the park's western boundary.
