A SoCal hiking trail that features butterflies, a fishing lake, a truss bridge, native plants and coastal wetlands — all in one uninterrupted stretch.
There aren’t many hiking trails in Southern California that feature hummingbirds, a fishing lake, a 440-foot-long truss bridge, an abundance of native plants and coastal wetlands all in one uninterrupted stretch. That’s what makes the Park to Playa Trail so special. It begins near a busy five-point intersection in the Baldwin Hills-Crenshaw district and ends about 13 miles later at the Pacific Ocean.
I also loved the 180-degree views of sand, ocean and sailboats that accompanied me on the trail’s last quarter mile in Playa del Rey — as satisfying as any panoramic viewpoint from the top of a mountain. Return options I opted for a Lyft to take me the eight road miles back to Stocker Street, but public transportation is also an option: L.A. Metro bus #232 with a transfer to #102 at Manchester/Truxton is the most direct route.
