Three parks serve the San Roque area, San Roque, Stevens and Willowglen parks. San Roque Creek runs through the neighborhood, and opportunities may someday arise to acquire land along its banks as major creek open space that can provide additional park land in the San Roque area.

Neighborhood Profile

This neighborhood is virtually fully developed with single-family homes. However, apartment complexes have been constructed to the south behind the outer State Street business area in the vicinity of Ontare Road. This southern portion of San Roque is designated in the General Plan for twelve dwelling units to the acre, while most of the neighborhood is designated for five dwellings to the acre. To conform with the General Plan, the major portion of San Roque is zoned E-2 or E-3 to protect existing homes and to ensure a density of five dwelling units to the acre. The southern portion near Ontare Road is zoned for two-family and multiple dwellings.
