Vista Hermosa National Park
Although I grew up in Los Angeles, I love finding hidden gems and playing tourist in my own city. One of the best ways to find things to do is to pretend you’re new to the area or a tourist.
Today I found this little piece of heaven in Los Angeles. I absolutely love hiking, picnics, and walking trails. The outdoors have always been my favorite way to stay in shape and I love greenery.
Vista Hermosa Natural Park in Los Angeles is the perfect place to read, have lunch, or just relax. Although surrounded by high-rises and buildings, you’re walking along green grass and feel at one with nature.
The park reminds me a lot of New York and how you see buildings when looking up. The park is very similar, yet comforting because you have benches and puppies all around you to take a break from the chaos.
The park is located at the western gateway to Downtown at 100 N. Toluca Street and is an urban national park. The park has walking trails, streams, picnic grounds, and a playground for kids.
I love finding new places to take my friends and family who visit Los Angeles. It is nice to be able to share with them how awesome the place I live is.
What’s your favorite spot in Los Angeles?
