    Culver City Park is a community park with multiple levels of access. The park amenities include Ropes Course Concession, Interpretive Nature Trail, and Trail Access to the Baldwin Hills Overlook. It's a popular park for children and bbq events.

    WHAT A GEM! Frustrated from our attempt to get into the Kenneth Hahn park (parking was impossible!) we drove along Jefferson and came across an entrance to this park at the intersection of Jefferson and Duquesne. We turned in and there was plenty of parking - later we found there seem to be many lots in different parts of the park. A very nice red wooden pathway leads you to the top of the park - easy walk with gentle slope and nice views at every turn. So, instant gratification within minutes from you get off your car!! That's my kind of outing! After the picturesque pathway, you come to an old baseball field - you don't see many like this, not any more in plastic Westside. A dirt path, unpaved, takes you around to another baseball field... with city lookout spots scattered along the way. We spent about an hour wandering around. This seemingly unintentional and un-designed is a contrast to the congested order down below, and therefore, relaxing and refreshing. After the baseball fields, there is a small gate that takes you into the adjacent Baldwin Hills Scenic Lookout, another gem that offers unobstructed/expansive views of the city down below.

    Just came here to study taking the beautiful view and the quiet serenity kind of beautiful part nonetheless

    great little park, mostly with baseball field with good small walking bridge and the view of the city of Los angeles is amazing.. good place to just waste time...

    It seems like people come here for two reasons - either to enjoy the park and surrounding scenery, or to sit in their parked car and smoke weed. I didn't realize that was still a thing. Anyways, a good spot overall and recommended stop if you have some time to spend.

    Decent park, went there once for Skateside Skatefest. Nothing spectacular, but parking was available on the Duquesne Ave

    This park is surprisingly cute with very good climbing equipment for older kids. Most parks cater to younger kids. This one has a young kid structure and sand/water play area, but it's bigger kid area really shines. The climbing gym was challenging for me, LOL. I could not resist. Big Kid Area: Rock climbing cubes, large rope climbing structure, rope monkey bars, 3 levels of chairs to climb, a rope merry go around, a plain plastic merry go around, 2 unique spinners Little Kid: Standard double slide structure, 3 bouncy seated thing, 2 baby swings Water/Sand structure in it's own circle of sand Skate park is adjacent, along with lots of picnic table and a good size grassy patch for the kids to plan on. Parking was easy on a very overcast day. This is a park worth driving 15 minutes or less to get to. We were eating lunch in the area, made a wrong turn, and ran into it. Definitely worth stopping in for 20 minutes like we did. My son really enjoyed himself.

    Culver City really has a good thing going between Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook and it's neighbor Culver City Park. Despite the recent move to add meters to many of the parking spots at Culver City Park, it still offers the Jefferson neighborhood a natural leisure playground for the whole family. * Entrance to the Park is off Jefferson at Duquesne * Culver City Park is over 41 acres on a hill. Just climbing the hill is exercise * Parking is at Jefferson, along the park street, or at 4 lots in the park * As of today, most parking spots are free. * Culver City Skate Park is on Jefferson and busy * Just as busy is the The Boneyard Dog Park about a 1/3 of the way up * Picnic areas, a Hut, Barbeques, and restrooms are in the park. * Near the top are 1 Soccer, 1 Baseball, 3 Softball fields * A small playground for the little ones is near the skate park. * A pair of small half-court Basketball courts don't get used enough * The views from the upper parking lot is impressive at sunset * Use a "secret trail" near the top to access Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook From top to bottom and back to the top, Culver City Park is a great community park for those looking to have fun, play, relax, play with your dog, or exercise.

    Ask the Community - Culver City Park

    Is there pull up bars at this park?

    There is no exorcise equipment area at this park.

    How early would I have to get there to get a bbq picnic spot?

    Depends. Different at lower park vs upper park. The upper park is also effected by little league games. Best to visit a week or two in advance to check out what is offered.

    Do you get cell phone service while on the nature trails?

    Nope, only with Verizon!

There are a few parking lot spots at the end of the cul de sac where the park is located, but those spots seem to always be full and taken. The playground has two 2 sections. A gated section is for the littlest kids 2 yrs and under to play. The ungated section was definitely where my 3 and 5 yr olds wanted to spend their time. There's a small zip line, but the handles are so high up that a parent would need to lift even a tall 5 year old up so that they can grab the bar. Plenty of grass surrounds the playground. There are 6 picnic tables right next to the playground. Best to reserve those with the city if you're thinking to throw a birthday party there. The weekend we went, there were 3 birthday parties simultaneously. One party had the 6 tables reserved. The other 2 parties brought their own set up and set up on the grass around.

There's ample room for people looking to reserve a spot for family events, cookouts, etc., a Japanese garden located near the upper parking structure near the parks entrance for photos, lunch, book reading, etc., and multiple trails that lead to a dog park, bird watch, trail, and an incredible monument dedicated to the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I've actually been visiting this park since 2019, so I'm not sure why it took me so long to post a review, but Kenneth Hahn is the perfect place to go to if you need to disconnect from the non-stop hustle and bustle of modern LA living. I'll typically pair a walk here with a hike at the nearby Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook at least one Sunday out of the month, and I do this to help recalibrate myself after what's typically been a busy week filled with one too many responsibilities and obligations. As a bonus, every first Sunday of the month Breathe Good LA hosts free group yoga sessions near the Japanese garden, and it's a great opportunity to connect with people and share some good vibes. Overall, Kenneth Hahn State Park is perfect for large and small family/friend get togethers, group yoga, and it's a great place to unwind and admire many of the different birds and reptiles that are local to the area.

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.

I personally go for a hike every Sunday because it helps me decompress, reflect on the week that I've had, and mentally prepare myself for the week coming up/visualize future plans. Right off the bat, I'd strongly recommend planning in advance for the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook since the parking closer to the base of the trail is street parking and first come first serve. While the street parking is mostly free (there are some meters), I can't really recommend a "best" time to get there as I've gone at multiple times of the morning, afternoon, and evening, and it's generally tough to get a spot that isn't a bit of a walk away. Additionally, there is metered parking at the top of the trail, but the caveat is that you won't be able to advance the steps on your first trek if you start from the top. The steps are arguably the most attractive part of the trail since it offers a unique fitness challenge that manages to feel familiar for stairmaster users while also feeling different because of the outdoor ambiance. It also feels like something out of a training scene from a Shaw Brothers film for my fellow movie nerds. If your'e reasonably in shape, the steps likely won't be too big of an issue, but if you're fairly new to fitness/hiking, you will likely have to take breaks as you advance up the steps. That said, most people here are very supportive of one another, so if you are struggling to make it up, someone will no doubt cheer you on. Once you advance to the top of the steps, you'll have an opportunity to catch your breath, take in the beautiful skyline view of LA, and take a selfie. This is also a great opportunity to chat with fellow hikers and possibly make a new friend or two along the way. I'd suggest advancing past this rest spot and make your way to the back of the trail as it provides you with two cool options. Option 1: You can make a right while at the parking lot and do laps going up and down the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook without worrying about the steps. It is significantly less grueling than the steps, offers some additional great views of LA, and even has a few benches where one can chill and eat a snack. Option 2 (Strongly Recommend): You can make a left, walk through the parking lot, and explore a nice casual hike from the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook to the nearby Kenneth Hahn Park. I do this every time I visit the trail because it feels like a more rewarding hike that also offers some really nice views of the local area. Furthermore, this path is another way to get to Kenneth Hahn without worrying about the $10.00 entry fee should you try to enter the park that way. I've been hiking since 2020, and I can confidently say that this is one of my favorite trails. I've hiked here countless times alone, and I've also gone with less experienced friends who've also had a blast. The Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook is moderately challenging, offers some great views, is peaceful, and the food trucks at the base of the steps have a wealth of smoothies, refreshers, etc. to choose from for your pre or post hike pleasure.
