Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area

Great place to go and get relaxed from the busy city life. Clean and beautiful park! Lots of flora and fauna. Hiking, ponds, picnic tables, kids recreation areas, lookout point with wonderful views of downtown LA skyline and much more! Pet friendly but please clean up after your pet. Thank You!

Awesome dog friendly park. Entrance with car $10 and depending on which way you enter you might not be able to find street parking. Park was bigger than I recalled. It seems I always find something new. Visited the MLK memorial at the top (amazing views), scenic city view path, Japanese garden (smaller than I expected and water fountain was out of service), visitor center, possibly saw the hummingbird garden but really it’s just several feeders hanging from the trees - still cute and able to see them. I love that one can choose paved or natural paths, and there were several bathrooms anytime needed.

Nice place! There's alot to do at this park and something for everyone. Some highlights include the Gwen Moore Lake, 2 small waterfalls, Hummingbird Garden, Japanese Garden (not really a garden just a pond with small bridges and 1 waterfall), and Autumn's Peak. There is a $10 fee.

Amazing park with some of the best panoramic views of Los Angeles. You can see downtown LA, the Hollywood Hills, and even the ocean on a clear day. Really peaceful atmosphere with plenty of green areas, walking trails, and great spots to relax or take photos. Perfect place for sunset too. Just keep in mind there is a $10 entrance/parking fee to enter the park by car, but it’s definitely worth it for the views and the experience.

🤴🏿I wondered all the way to the Kenneth Hawn state recreational area after crossing the Mark-Ridley Thomas bridge by foot. I explored the area on foot by walking, jogging and hiking. I was excited to see a tall monument pointed to the sky and memorial dedicated to the late and one of greatest civil rights leaders of all time🤴🏿Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It was a pleasant surprise because I didn’t know that it existed nor that it was created in LA. The monument is inscribed with a long narrative. The writing is small, so I could not capture a close up of the narrative with the entirety of the monument as a whole. There were also boulders what civil rights quotes written on them. I am assuming these may be direct quotes from Dr. King Jr. himself, but I can’t confirm. I also saw beautiful trees, ponds, trails, flowers, fish, frogs, plants, bridges, resting benches, and other people passing by, exploring the area as well. It was just a very serene, peaceful, and, beautiful environment. I explored the area for hours looking for as much beauty as I could capture with my eyes and camera. 🙋🏿‍♀️ 🇺🇸Love, Light, Peace, Blessings, Dreams, Community, Hope, Justice, Liberty, For All, Dreamers
