There's ample room for people looking to reserve a spot for family events, cookouts, etc., a Japanese garden located near the upper parking structure near the parks entrance for photos, lunch, book reading, etc., and multiple trails that lead to a dog park, bird watch, trail, and an incredible monument dedicated to the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I've actually been visiting this park since 2019, so I'm not sure why it took me so long to post a review, but Kenneth Hahn is the perfect place to go to if you need to disconnect from the non-stop hustle and bustle of modern LA living. I'll typically pair a walk here with a hike at the nearby Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook at least one Sunday out of the month, and I do this to help recalibrate myself after what's typically been a busy week filled with one too many responsibilities and obligations. As a bonus, every first Sunday of the month Breathe Good LA hosts free group yoga sessions near the Japanese garden, and it's a great opportunity to connect with people and share some good vibes. Overall, Kenneth Hahn State Park is perfect for large and small family/friend get togethers, group yoga, and it's a great place to unwind and admire many of the different birds and reptiles that are local to the area.

I finally got around to visiting Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area, and my only complaint is that…read moreI waited this long to go. What an absolute gem. This park is the perfect escape from the city, whether you're looking for a scenic hike, a place to bird watch, a picnic spot, or just somewhere to unwind outdoors. We enjoyed it so much that we came back two weekends in a row. Both visits consisted of finding a shady spot, throwing down a blanket, reading, and simply relaxing. It was exactly what we needed. The grounds are beautiful, with plenty of open space, walking paths, mature trees, and peaceful water features. Everywhere you look there seems to be another picturesque view. On our second visit, we discovered the Hummingbird Garden, which ended up being one of the highlights of the park. The area is filled with feeders and absolutely buzzing with wildlife. We saw hummingbirds darting between flowers and feeders, along with bees, songbirds, lizards, and squirrels. Nature lovers will be in heaven. One word of advice: keep an eye on the ground while you're walking. There was so much wildlife activity that it was easy to spot lizards and even baby squirrels scurrying around underfoot. Parking was straightforward and cost $10 for the day, with discounted admission available for service members. Whether you're looking for a quiet afternoon in nature, a family outing, or a place to reconnect with the outdoors, Kenneth Hahn is well worth a visit. I'll definitely be back--probably sooner rather than later.

I hate not being able to give this Park five stars and the reason why I can't give this part five…read morestars is because they say that no dogs are allowed on the way up but yet there's dog poop all over the walking bridge I really like this park because when I have broken my foot in order to exercise This was a great place. They have like a switchback OK so which means you're going higher and higher, but without stairs, right... and six years ago I had a knee surgery where I needed to still exercise, but I just couldn't lift my knee like that just walking was all I could do so I've been in a few predicaments where you know I appreciate having this switchback, I just don't appreciate the dog poop. If you are going to violate the rules and bring your dog which I love animals I love dogs you gotta clean up after your animal. It's not OK to just to leave dog poop on the trail. And also, why aren't my Park Rangers enforcing this rule anyhow, if you wanna take a nice walk, that's gonna give you a little workout without doing too much strain than this is the park for you! At the end of the day, this is a very pretty park where you can actually barbecue you do need to reserve the space. I don't know how much it cost, but I know you need to reserve the space and then you can have a party there there's a skate park attached. I mean it's a nice park just please people be respectful and I guess it's not the Park's fault per se... But if there are Park Rangers, why aren't they enforcing this rule? Also, they lease out some space to this company that does these really cool teambuilding, exercises and wall climbs and stuff. It's pretty cool. I wanted to do it but it was like $100 a person and I was like ouch! All in all, there is a beautiful view when you do reach the top and I don't mean the top on the bottom I mean all the way up to the top has the picture show you can see all the way to the beach on a clear day. It's gorgeous.

They showed the kids how the life jackets fit and then got 'em in the water to confirm to the kids that they were safe and comfortable. Then they let them loose on the boats. They had canoes and kayaks and stand up paddle boards and even has a dragon boat. They have a have a specific section of the lake designated for paddling but on the day we were there the guides let the kids loose on the entire lower lake. They loved it. The kids got some exercise and had a ton of fun and walked away happy and sore and a bit more confident in their watercraft skills. I've heard that the same options are available for adults but we had the misfortune of catching their very last session of the 2017 season so it looks like I'll have to sit on my hands and wait another 9 months to take a spin on that dragon boat. Too bad.
