Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area Details

If you need a break from the high-rises and urban environment of Los Angeles, then spend a few relaxing hours in this state park. Although it is located downtown, it feels like an entirely different world, with scrublands, fishing lakes, lotus ponds, and numerous outdoor hiking trails. It’s one of the best places to escape into nature (although don't expect to necessarily escape the crowds). The views over downtown from the trails are spectacular. You will also be able to see the Hollywood Sign, the Santa Ana Mountains, and the Los Angeles Harbor. In addition to the nature trails, the park also has different recreational facilities. Playgrounds, baseball diamonds, volleyball courts, and basketball courts are also located throughout the park.
