Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area
Even though Griffith may receive all the attention, Kenneth Hahn is a surprisingly large and hilly park for the Westside. The park in the Culver City neighborhood includes a lotus pond, fishing lake, and sand volleyball court in addition to the normal assortment of facilities. But the Baldwin Hills' almost seven miles of walking and hiking paths, which offer vistas of nearly every part of the Los Angeles Basin—from Downtown and the San Gabriel Mountains to the South Bay and the Pacific Ocean—are where the urban oasis really makes its mark.
The Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation oversees Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area, which features expansive habitats of natural coastal sage scrub, lawns and groomed areas, picnic spots, tot lots, and fishing lake, lotus pond, community center and five miles of trails. There are six restrooms, four administrative offices, and a small conference room at the community center.
The park's assortment of walkways and trails is one of its most frequently used attractions. The most recent trails to be built are the Burke Roche Trail and the Rim Trail. Burke Roche Trail, which is 2.2 miles long, Bowl Loop, which is 0.8 miles long, Ridge Trail, which is 2.6 miles long, Waterfall Trail, which is 1 mile long, and Ballfield Walking Path, which is 0.5 miles long make up the more than 7 miles of existing trails.
Eight picnic rental shelters and 100 picnic tables are available for passive recreation around the park. Also scattered across the area are 60 tiny and eight large BBQ pits. The Kenneth Hahn State Recreation area is surrounded by neighborhood parks, including Jim Gilliam Park, Norman O. Houston Park, Culver City Park, and Ladera Park. These parks may be found close by along the major thoroughfares. These parks have playgrounds, picnic spots, multi-use fields, tennis and basketball courts, and other amenities.
