There is a fee to drive in, and street parking near some entrances is scarce. Reviewers describe playgrounds, ponds, a choice of paved or dirt paths, and restrooms at several points. The lookout gives wide city views. The Japanese garden is small and its fountain was out of service.
Sprawling hilltop park with lakes, picnic areas, easy trails, and panoramic views of the LA basin. The 338-acre park was built on former oil-drilling land in the Baldwin Hills, a conversion championed by County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn starting in the late 1960s to bring green space to an underserved part of the city. It officially opened in 1984, and its elevated trails now offer some of the widest views anywhere in central LA.

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!

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.
