Suggestions for Landmarks and Outdoors near Los Angeles

LAist • April 2, 2012You'll find a quiet spot to sit and enjoy nature in an area that can really use it. The 0.4 mile walking path is the perfect length for a lunchtime stroll.

Ryan L. • September 21, 2015I love to hike, this is one of my hiking getaways. The trails aren't too long, or boring. There's also plenty of parking in the lot of the actual park itself. In all its a great hike and trail spot

Mila S. • September 28, 2021The best place for run or exercises

Alexandra A. • June 16, 2016Best place to go to when you want to relax and enjoy the beauty. I love the gardens they have there. Overall I love the location in Mount Washington such a peaceful neighborhood.
