Stoneview Nature Center

"A pleasant community like garden. There are various shrubs, trees, and plants here. They grow berries here, too! Pretty cool thing to see since I've only seen blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries at the market. It's cool to see them growing in nature. This place is hidden, and I found it accidentally as I trekked across the bridge over La Cienega Blvd from Kenneth Hahn State Park. It's very tranquil here, some folks caring for the plants here, and there's a small educational center here, too. There are caterpillars in jars, some in cocoons, as well as some butterflies ready to fly from the small wire cages they emerged in. It's a beautiful place where I'd be comfortable playing my guitar with one of my headphone amps or amPlugs. But it feels a bit out of the way, and I just don't have that kind of time. But if I did, I'd come here more often. Check it out! Don't steal the berries, please."

"We went for the hiking trail with beautiful views of the city at the top. The actual nature center is great for kids. Ask for a backpack."

"It's my favorite peaceful place. Usually peaceful, unless people let their kids go crazy. As long as they are respectful to nature.. there are a couple of picnic tables and it's just lovely."

"We discovered the center while treking the walking trails. We really enjoyed walking through the curated gardens and appreciated the plant ID information that was provided. It appears to provide child friendly nature programs scheduled, and the center is ultra clean, to boot!"

"This is one of the natural wonders of Los Angeles. A park located a top of Baldwin Hills with great hiking trails. I went today for the first time with my fellow church members. I was captivated by its beauty. All of which made the steep elevated hillsides worth the sweat and tears. If you are looking for a place with great scenery to exercise ….. this is it! It is connected to many parks with benches and rest stations. This is another great healthy date option."
