In 2000, the “Park to Playa” vision was first articulated: a seamless trail connecting urban residents with the beach. The trail will be the first regional trail in the Second District, connecting approximately 13 miles from the Baldwin Hills along Ballona Creek to the Ballona Wetlands and the beach bicycle path. While the Ballona Creek portion of the trail currently exists, the Park to Playa Feasibility Study defines the location and design of the eastern portion of the trail, passing through several parks and jurisdictions in the Baldwin Hills area, starting at the Stocker Corridor to the east and connecting parts of the trail systems of Ruben Ingold Park, Norman O. Houston Park, Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area, and Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook to the west.

The Baldwin Hills Regional Conservation Authority has authorized the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority and Alta Planning to begin developing the construction documents and environmental analysis to actually build the trail. Stay tuned for community meetings in the Spring 2012 on this process.
