    Very Safe! Watching the kids play chess is fun! Amazingly close! I love that this park is within walking distance.

    A really spacious park that goes up in elevation. Has a large fenced off baseball field which is…read moregreat for your doggos to roam and play in. Didn't get to hike but loved all the benches that showcase Culver City views. It's a good park cause you can drive up to certain viewpoints if you choose not to hike.

    I hate not being able to give this Park five stars and the reason why I can't give this part five…read morestars is because they say that no dogs are allowed on the way up but yet there's dog poop all over the walking bridge I really like this park because when I have broken my foot in order to exercise This was a great place. They have like a switchback OK so which means you're going higher and higher, but without stairs, right... and six years ago I had a knee surgery where I needed to still exercise, but I just couldn't lift my knee like that just walking was all I could do so I've been in a few predicaments where you know I appreciate having this switchback, I just don't appreciate the dog poop. If you are going to violate the rules and bring your dog which I love animals I love dogs you gotta clean up after your animal. It's not OK to just to leave dog poop on the trail. And also, why aren't my Park Rangers enforcing this rule anyhow, if you wanna take a nice walk, that's gonna give you a little workout without doing too much strain than this is the park for you! At the end of the day, this is a very pretty park where you can actually barbecue you do need to reserve the space. I don't know how much it cost, but I know you need to reserve the space and then you can have a party there there's a skate park attached. I mean it's a nice park just please people be respectful and I guess it's not the Park's fault per se... But if there are Park Rangers, why aren't they enforcing this rule? Also, they lease out some space to this company that does these really cool teambuilding, exercises and wall climbs and stuff. It's pretty cool. I wanted to do it but it was like $100 a person and I was like ouch! All in all, there is a beautiful view when you do reach the top and I don't mean the top on the bottom I mean all the way up to the top has the picture show you can see all the way to the beach on a clear day. It's gorgeous.

    This place was Fantastic! I'm always on the look out for fun parks that are clean in great areas…read moreand have clean bathrooms. This space was remodeled completely and love the new look. The slides and swings and everything pretty much is new and well taken care of. They have basketball courts and a structure monkey Gym for the older ones and also a fun area for ages 2-5 of age I would say that's great with slides and climbing and fun drums and other great toys for kids to use their imagination. The bathrooms are very clean and love that it's in a residential area and not as open to homeless like other parks. They have a few benches and tables if you'd like to have a picnic or just have lunch or a small little gathering. The grass area and shade area with tree's is so great, the grass is maintained well and love the space for kids to run and not have to worry about them going to the street. There is a little school/ Summer classes in the same area with bigger kids as well. I loved it so much can't wait to come back!

    I finally got around to visiting Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area, and my only complaint is that…read moreI waited this long to go. What an absolute gem. This park is the perfect escape from the city, whether you're looking for a scenic hike, a place to bird watch, a picnic spot, or just somewhere to unwind outdoors. We enjoyed it so much that we came back two weekends in a row. Both visits consisted of finding a shady spot, throwing down a blanket, reading, and simply relaxing. It was exactly what we needed. The grounds are beautiful, with plenty of open space, walking paths, mature trees, and peaceful water features. Everywhere you look there seems to be another picturesque view. On our second visit, we discovered the Hummingbird Garden, which ended up being one of the highlights of the park. The area is filled with feeders and absolutely buzzing with wildlife. We saw hummingbirds darting between flowers and feeders, along with bees, songbirds, lizards, and squirrels. Nature lovers will be in heaven. One word of advice: keep an eye on the ground while you're walking. There was so much wildlife activity that it was easy to spot lizards and even baby squirrels scurrying around underfoot. Parking was straightforward and cost $10 for the day, with discounted admission available for service members. Whether you're looking for a quiet afternoon in nature, a family outing, or a place to reconnect with the outdoors, Kenneth Hahn is well worth a visit. I'll definitely be back--probably sooner rather than later.

    This park is large with multiple different sections. What's a bummer is they charge for parking in…read morethe lot now when before it used to be free on week days. There is a walking bridge that connects to Kenneth hanh to stoneview, which has free parking. Their upper section has a disc golf course. The lower section has picnic tables and the lakes.

    This is one of those spots you kind of have to find. I was meeting someone there. It is really…read moreoff the beaten path. I would not call it a "hidden gem" because that phrase is overused, but it really does feel like having your own private park. When you are there, it almost feels like it is part of an HOA, with how quiet and well kept it is. There is security nearby, which adds to the sense of safety. It would be a great place for toddlers and younger kids. There is space for them to move around and play without feeling like you are in a crowded public park. They have a basketball court where you can play or shoot around, and there are picnic tables where you can sit, eat, or just hang out. I came here just looking for a place to sit down and relax for a little while. It turned out to be a perfect spot for that. You could come here to think, read, get a little workout in, or simply catch your breath in the middle of the day. The park is very clean, very nice, and has a calm, peaceful feel to it. For me, it is an easy 5 stars.

    We've been coming here for a couple of years now and I LOVE this playground. I love that it's off…read morethe beaten path, rarely crowded, and feels so private. You can't even see the street or parking lot when you're inside the playground, and I love this sense of privacy and safety. It's completely fenced in, so I don't have to worry about my little one running off or fear cars, etc. It has everything you need - a large playscape area for bigger kids, a smaller playscape for babies/toddlers, some swings, a grassy patch to run around and kick a ball, shade and picnic tables for lunch, a sand pit for playing in, and benches for the parents to take a break! Clean bathrooms, patrolled by security, etc. it's a fav of mine!

    Such an incredible hidden gem. Brought my little one here and it was a great space to explore,…read morewander and explore. As you enter it's very clean and well taken care of. There is a neat area that they have raised gardens, their own compost area and some fun stuff growing there. Their walkways lead you to different areas and live there a lot of tree's were blooming with beautiful flowers and fruit tree's as well. They host different events and activities during summer you just have to look at their website for when they will be. When you go inside the little facility there is a lot of fun facts, history and little area to read books and ask for information. One of our favorite parts of this area was the Quail land area.. such a cute spot and the kids love it. There are many great opportunities for kids to really take in nature and bringing snacks and water is a great idea. There are many spots to sit and relax. Bathrooms were very clean and I loved that they had a water refillable station near bathrooms. Can't wait to be back. Great spot & had access to a hike trial as well.

    What a beautiful but hidden nature center, and I can't believe I didn't know about it before!…read moreFirst and foremost, it's dog-friendly! There are two directions to go. One way leads you to the Mark Ridley-Thomas Bridge that goes over La Cienega and connects to Kenneth Hahn or other trails that lead to other overlooks. The other direction will take you to the Baldwin Hills Stairs. There is also a sign that shows a way to walk you all the way to Playa Del Rey! Something I would love to try one of these days. It is easy to find parking. They have tons of classes, like yoga and cooking classes for children, and the day we went, they had a blood drive going on. The restrooms are clean, and everyone there had a smile on their faces, even though they were super busy setting everything up. I can't wait to go back and explore.
