Gopher Problems Near Fullerton — Cal State Fullerton, Coyote Hills, and Golf Courses

Fullerton sits at the northern edge of Orange County where the coastal plain meets the Puente Hills, and that geography creates gopher pressure from multiple directions. Cal State Fullerton's large campus, Coyote Hills Regional Park, two golf courses, and the Brea Dam Recreation Area to the north all sustain gopher populations that continuously push into the city's well-established residential neighborhoods. Fullerton's mature tree canopy and irrigated landscaping make it one of the more gopher-active cities in northern Orange County.

The Main Gopher Sources in Fullerton

Cal State Fullerton occupies 236 acres of campus grounds with irrigated athletic fields, ornamental plantings, and maintained turf throughout. The campus borders residential neighborhoods on multiple sides, and the campus grounds sustain a consistent gopher population that pushes into surrounding residential streets along State College Boulevard, Nutwood Avenue, and the residential blocks adjacent to campus. University campuses are persistent neighborhood gopher sources because their grounds are maintained for aesthetics and function — not pest control.

Coyote Hills Regional Park preserves over 1,000 acres of natural wetland, grassland, and upland habitat along the eastern edge of Fullerton bordering Brea and La Habra. The park's extensive grassland terrain is prime natural gopher habitat, and the residential communities along the park's western boundary — including neighborhoods along Euclid Street and the hillside areas near Brea Boulevard — experience sustained pressure from the park's established populations. Coyote Hills is one of the most significant natural gopher reservoirs in northern Orange County.

Fullerton Golf Course is an LA County operated 18-hole public course with irrigated fairways running through central Fullerton. Public municipal courses consistently develop high gopher densities, and the surrounding residential neighborhoods along Bastanchury Road and the residential streets bordering the course see regular activity year-round.

Brea Dam Recreation Area preserves natural open space along the Carbon Creek drainage corridor on Fullerton's northern boundary. The area's undeveloped terrain and riparian vegetation sustain gopher populations that push southward into the adjacent Fullerton residential neighborhoods.

Craig Regional Park covers 124 acres in the Fullerton Hills area with maintained recreational facilities and natural hillside terrain. The park's irrigated athletic areas and the surrounding natural hillside sustain populations that affect neighboring communities in the Fullerton Hills and Sunny Hills areas.
