Wait I didn't review this yet how dare I. You won't find this park except by driving past it. It's…read morea park across from the beach and funnily enough it works. You can swing and watch the ocean or have a picnic and divert your sand plans if you don't like that stuff all in your mouth. It's by Palisades del Rey which is a little known ghost community in LA so take a gander at the wasteland behind you, they used to be multimillion dollar mansions up there but because of sound pollution the entire community got mauled. Some LA history for ya.

What an awesome park right by the water!…read more Coming here one random night to chill take in the cold night by the water with the occasional plane flying over like you really can't go wrong! This was a mellow place we just chilled played some guitar and sang old songs for a few hours like you really can't go wrong with a cool place like this that's perfect for everyone as there is a playground and plenty of parking! Overall cool park I Hope to visit again at some point as it was just an awesome time!

I absolutely love this hidden park that's in a nice neighborhood in El Segundo. It's clean, fun and…read moreyou get to see airplanes take off every few minutes which kid doesn't love that. Their climbing structures are great for bigger kids and they have cool features as well like a chalk board and cool climbing added as well. They have swings as well for the little ones and big kiddos. Their little house they have for the toddlers is great and so fun featuring a small slide. The only down fall to this park is there is no bathroom but overall it's a fun park to visit for sure! There are benches and nice grassy area to hang or have a snack.

The park offers a small soccer field with access to two goals. Hit or miss because the area is also used for teams pick-up games. Having access to the field is challening because you don't know when the field will be off limits. There is a kids play area close by and trails to work. Bathrooms available as well (single person). Park is clean and free street parking available - not a lot. If you want a space to play soccer or access to a kid play area in a safe and crowd less area, say less and head to Playa Vista Sports Park.

Moreover, it is popular amongst local residence, bikers, and tourist. They have public bathroom, showers, lifeguards, volleyball courts parking lot and cafe. I am glad I got to visit this lovely beach for the very first time. I was in this beach to compete in a volleyball tournament. And I was humbled by my opponent! lol. Overall, I had a good time at Dockweiller beach. I recommend you visit.

If you want a nature walk that feels like a little hidden pocket of LA, the Ballona Wetlands are…read moreworth checking out. Finding the entrance was the hardest part of the trail. The trailhead is technically listed on Jefferson, which confused me at first. But there's lots of parking at the Sports Park on the corner of Lincoln Blvd and Bluff Creek Dr. From there, you just walk across the street, and there's an unmarked entrance right on Lincoln. The walk itself is interesting in a way I didn't expect. You're right next to the highway, so you can see and hear cars the whole time, but it's still surprisingly calming. It feels like nature just existing alongside the city instead of trying to escape it. I didn't see a single other person while I was there. Just a lot of birds, open space, and a few benches that feel made for sitting and thinking about life in LA for a minute. Lol I've lived here my whole life and somehow never came out here before. It's definitely not some big dramatic hike, but it's peaceful, a little quirky, and dworth visiting at least once.

What is left of the Ballona Wetlands is beautiful, but please don't go. I was just there again…read moretoday to pick up trash. I live near by. A good portion of the wetlands has been overtaken by junkies and criminals. A lot of it is not safe to walk at all. The section off Jefferson that has signage is safer, but people are hiking in there and destroying it. There is not much space left for the beautiful birds that nest there and other animals that make it there home. Huge condos have been built across the street on the hill and that used to be part of the wetlands. It is now gone. Soon enough there will be nothing left. It is simply not protected by anyone. If you must go, please don't hike and toss trash. Take your photos and leave. And don't give anyone money or walk by yourself. It may look safe, it is not.

The park is…read moreincredibly well maintained, with lush green grass, clean walking paths, and stunning views of the boats and water in every direction. Being surrounded by the marina makes it feel peaceful and scenic, yet it is still lively and welcoming. It is a perfect spot for families, friends, and anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors. My dog absolutely loves coming here, and if you are lucky, you might even spot seals swimming or lounging nearby, which always feels like such a treat. There is plenty of space to picnic, relax, or just sit and take in the view. The park also hosts fun community events during the summer, and the holiday decor is especially gorgeous and festive. You can tell a lot of care goes into keeping this park beautiful year round. Whether you live nearby or are visiting the area, Burton Chace Park is a must stop for enjoying the best of the marina.
