Turnbull Canyon is a popular trail in Puente Hills Reserve. The parking here is difficult as the…read morearea closest to the trail entrance has a Permit Required on the streets surrounding the area. So you have to park away and walk into the area. The park hours are 9am-6pm June to September, and 9am-5pm October to May. On the trail, I was able to observe lots of wildlife and local flora. ***BEWARE*** There is a lot of Poison Oak (pictured below) within the valley so it's important to make sure you stay on trail and not to touch the local plant and flora. (Which are also the rules of the trail) The views here were beautiful and the paths were well maintained. Make sure you bring in your own water. There are no bathrooms available and trashcans are limited to the beginning of the trail. I did notice there was lots of trash along the path, please make sure that you take your trash with you and if you own a dog, please do not just bag it and leave it on the side of the trail. Overall all it's a nice area and has access to lots of different variations of trails. It just gets busy and I would rate it higher if more people took the time to doing their part in keeping the trails litter-free

Was able to get a parking few minutes later and people started rotating out around that time so either come earlier or around 8 am. The hike had a good chunk just walking on the road. Views are okay and overall it's mostly a good spot to get your steps in. Incline is okay but going up is mostly slightly inclined. Tons of electrical wires making static noises so a bit unsatisfying. Overall great spot for exercise plus it's dog friendly! Parking - It's across the street from Ron & Alicia Robinson Florist. You can route there or use the directions from All Trails.

However, with additional…read moreencouragement from my Yelp friend, Lilah J, here goes another FTR for a park that's not worth driving across town for, but would make for a nice place to exercise if you happen to be nearby. First things first, Google Maps incorrectly lists this park as "Byron Zinn Park", but Yelp has it correct here with "H. Byrum Zinn Park", at least neglecting punctuation. The park is located on the eastern end of Foster Road where it meets the San Gabriel River. Foster Road does turn south after the park, but it's a restricted area unless you're affiliated with the Storage Outlet located there. When you go east on Foster Road, you'll hit a cul-de-sac, but Foster Road extends past that cul-de-sac towards Storage Outlet. The park is located between that cul-de-sac and Storage Outlet. This park is comparable to Riverview Park, due south along the San Gabriel River by about a mile. Both parks are pretty bare parks that you won't find much else besides a walking trail, benches, trash cans, and transmission towers. Riverview Park is also way longer in length. I walked the length of the trails on both parks back to back, and I estimated Riverview to be about 5 times longer than H. Byrum Zinn. Riverview Park runs from Somerset to Alondra, so that should give you an idea of how large H. Byrum Zinn Park is. Case in point, if you like walking trails and can only choose one Bellflower park to go to on any given day, it depends on how much time you're willing to spend. If you have an hour to spend and want to take a leisurely stroll with a slower-moving friend, choose Riverview Park, but if you don't have that luxury of time and just want to go for a quick 10-minute jog, choose H. Byrum Zinn Park. However, unlike Riverview Park, there is no dedicated parking lot at this park, so you'll have to park either on Foster Road or in an adjacent neighborhood. So far, I've only been to this park twice, and both times, I found plenty of space on either side of Foster Road to park my car, so don't let a lack of a lot deter you from visiting this park! The walking trail in this park goes in a loop, but there's a path in the middle that essentially turns the 0 shape into an 8. There are three pieces of outdoor exercise equipment at this park, one of which can be found on that middle path. It's a jump bar that doesn't really have any description whatsoever of what you're even supposed to do. Actually, there was a description when I visited the first time in fall 2024, but it was ripped and raggedy. I can tell it's supposed to test your balance and agility, but that's pretty much all I can say about this squiggly bar. There's a 3-person static combo at the southern end of the park, which means 3 people can use it simultaneously. There are instructions for using this equipment, and one of my photos shows these instructions that you can read before heading over to the park. The third piece of fitness equipment is on the east side of the trail. I'm thinking it's a leg press, but I couldn't tell for sure. There weren't any instructions for that one, so try to use it in any way you can imagine! lol There is a Community Park & Trail sign that shows the distances of the walking trail, both with the middle path and without. This could make for some creative math problems like, for example, Lilah walks at x% of the speed that Derek walks, and Derek can walk the length of a Figure "8" lap in the time it takes Lilah to walk the length of a regular lap. What is x equal to*? Of course, you wouldn't be able to answer that question without knowing the lap lengths, but I have also posted a photo of the Community Park & Trail sign, so feel free to do the math on that problem lol. Besides the fitness equipment and walking trail, there are only a few benches and trash cans in the park, and that's pretty much it. No playgrounds, no basketball courts, no picnic tables, not even a water fountain. Well, they do have a couple of dog waste stations, but that's pretty much at every park lol. Overall, it's not a bad neighborhood park in the City of Bellflower that if you live within walking distance, it would make for a nice place to take a stroll and catch up with a friend you haven't seen in ages. Don't bring a basketball since that would do no good at this park, but a frisbee or a soccer ball could be useful here with all the open space enclosed within the walking trail. * The answer won't be exact because the lengths are approximate as indicated by the squiggly equal signs, but suppose that these approximations are indeed exact lengths, then x would be equal to 88. Funny how a regular lap is ~88% the length of a Figure "8" lap here. I guess that's why it's called Figure "8" lol

They keep the field locked up so you can't use it for a family softball game unless you are willing to climb the fence. There is also a small t-ball field that doesn't have a fence surrounding it. There is only one basketball court and two handball courts. There is a small open grass area where you see people sometimes have a small pick-up soccer game. There is a recently renovated playground for the little kids and a recreation center with a room/patio that can be rented out. The main problem with this park is it just seems "dead"...you don't see young kids or families hanging out having fun...there is usually more adults there hanging out that look a bit sketchy like they are there because they don't have anywhere else to go and are possibly homeless, unemployed, and you will see people hanging out on benches in the shade of the trees smoking weed and getting their drink on...more a hangout for losers than families in my opinion.
