Park to Playa

On our list of the best activities in Los Angeles.

The 13-mile route links the Baldwin Hills parklands to the ocean at Playa del Rey through six connected segments, from the Stocker Corridor and Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area to Culver City Park and the Ballona Creek bike path. Along the Baldwin Hills stretch, the trail passes a Japanese garden, a stocked fishing lake, and murals and sculptures tucked into the hillside parks, climbing to overlooks with views across the Westside to the water.
