POWAY, The City in the Country

ByDale Downing

Poway is located in North County, just east of Interstate 15 and considered to be one of the best inland cities of San Diego County. It was an unincorporated community in San Diego County until it became a city in December, 1980. From affordable housing to spacious multi-million dollar homes in the very prestigious Heritage Golf Estates, Poway has housing for any family on any size budget.

Poway's first school, a one-room schoolhouse, was built in 1885 and was about a two to three minute walk south of Templar's Hall on Midland Road. That site stands today as an elementary school, even though it's been torn down and rebuilt several times over the course of the years. Today the Poway Unified School District has grown to more than 30 elementary, middle and high schools. In fact, it's known for its National Spelling Bee Champion in 2005 - can you spell the word "appoggiatura"?

If you're a hiker or a walker, or simply love a great workout, try Poway's Blue Sky Ecological Reserve and hike through the Reserve and up to Lake Ramona. With its spectacular views of Poway - and beyond - you will definitely enjoy the great outdoors on this trail. But if this isn't challenging enough for you, try hiking through Blue Sky to the Lake Poway trail and then hiking all the way to the top of Mount Woodson. Either trail, please keep your dog on a leash, clean up after them, and bring plenty of water for you and your pet.

Since the "Holidays" are fast approaching, get ready for Poway's "Christmas in the Park." in the old Poway Park. This is a great event for all ages. It's an old-fashioned tradition of a one-of-a-kind event that will delight you and your family during the holiday season. For instance, they have their community Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony along with Santa and Mrs. Claus. There are so many activities for the kids; you won't know where to begin. Pet the animals at the petting zoo? Have their face painted? Ride the steam locomotive train? Listen to live holiday music? There are lots of things for adults to do and see as well... The choices are too many to count.

Don't miss this talked about Community event in Poway this holiday season!
