Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area
4.7 (7,260)park
$7-$10
Set high in the Baldwin Hills, this park pairs scenic walking trails and duck ponds with sweeping views of the LA skyline.
Description



Lookout points and Autumn's Peak stretch sightlines beyond the downtown skyline toward the Hollywood Hills and the ocean on clear days. Beneath the ridges, paths weave through quiet green space toward Gwen Moore Lake, a Hummingbird Garden, and a Japanese Garden styled with small bridges and a waterfall. Picnic tables, play areas, and local flora give the park plenty of room for both relaxed wandering and sunset photo spots. Pricing details: Vehicle entrance and parking fee is $7–$10. The Link shuttle operates weekends and holidays for $0.25 one way (free for seniors and kids under 5).
