San Diego's San Diego Zoo Safari Park air quality benefits from the San Pasqual Valley's partial coastal enclosure in Escondido, with consistent Pacific sea breezes reaching the inland valley. Vehicle traffic on Safari Park Road contributes modest local sources, while the 1,800-acre open safari landscape provides excellent natural ventilation and the coastal influence generally maintains good to moderate conditions throughout most of the year.
