Perfect for relaxing, kite flying, picnicking and admiring the beautiful Korean Friendship Bell area!- Los AngelesAugust 1, 2013Intricate reliefs represent goddesses of liberty, victory & peace, while architectural details impart the nature of Korean culture.

Michael MorganJuly 31, 2023One of the most beautiful monuments and look out points I have ever been to. Even on a hot summer day the breeze from the ocean is cool. Very expansive views of PV, San Pedro, and the ocean- Scott R.June 10, 2012Sandwiched between Fort MacArthur & Point Fermin. A cool area to explore with great views on a sunny afternoon. Overcast days can be downright chilly.
