Tell us your story/detailed overview

Part of Kenneth Hahn State Recreational Area, take in breathtaking views, hike through restored native habitat, and enjoy a visitor center at Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook. Visitors can discover Los Angeles from this 420ft peak just southwest of downtown. Exhibits tell the story of this once drilled and exploited land which has now become a symbol of restoration, conservation and hope. Visitors are treated to a panoramic view of the entire Los Angeles Basin, the Pacific Ocean and surrounding mountains. The main hiking trail is steep and winds up one mile from the park entrance at Jefferson Blvd. and down from the Scenic Overlook. The trail zig zags around a very steep and straight staircase visitors can also access. An easy loop trail crowns the 58 acre park. Seasonal displays of native wildflowers, bird and wildlife viewing, picnicking and opportunities for kids and families to connect with the park's natural and cultural heritage are here for visitors to experience. People can enjoy the scents of nature, recreate, learn about the natural and cultural heritage of Los Angeles and be inspired by the view.
