Another great hiking trail and scenic lookout place in LA. During the pandemic, many people in LA come here to hike up to the hill top to have a panoramic view of downtown LA, Hollywood hill, the San Gabriel mountain and the Pacific Ocean.The hike is suitable for everyone. For the ones who want to have a good exercise, they can park their cars on the street and hike up 282 steep steps to a switchbacks where they can take a break and then hike another 300 feet to the top of the hill.For those who just want to get to the view, they can drive all the way to the parking area near the top and then take a 10 minutes walk to the overlook on top of the hill.The view here is breathtaking. On a clear day, you can vividly see the spectacular downtown LA skyline against the dramatic mountain backdrop.Many people also take advantage of the clean air and open spaces here on the top of the hill and do their morning exercise here. Especially during the pandemic many people come here to workout instead of the gym.

Kid friendly. There is a easy road and the stairs. Multiple paths up, road for pushing strollers and stairs for working legs. Restroom and water fountain on top. Also fruit vendors and juice vendors aways there at the bottom waiting ur return.Dog friendly* Would not recommend for pregnant woman.Beautiful 360 view on top worth the sweat.

Perfect place for a medium-challenging hike. They have all kinds of different routes you can veer off onto for more of a challenge. Mine was 338 ft elevation, total 1.2 miles round trip. Beautiful views of the city. Pretty crowded though. Not everyone wears masks. So that may or may not bother you. I love the juice truck at the bottom, such a great healthy reward for yourself after you completed your hike. I got the Power greens juice.

Great trail. 1 mile with plenty of turns. Or you can take the stairs to the top. Excellent work out. The view of the LA skyline Is Marvelous!!

I made it out here on one warm Monday evening. Truly a beautiful sight of the city. The sunset was a rich mix of purple and yellow, the crowd gathered to watch old orange ball descend into the ocean. I definitely hope to make it back here!

The views are magnificent! From certain spots, you have a 360 degree view of L.A. It was 108 degrees the day we went, so we didnt stay as long as we would have liked. Saw rabbits, lizards, and a roadrunner. Loved the nature! Cant wait to go back when its not as hot.

Great spot outdoors to get your heart rate up. The stairs look deceiving, but they are a CHALLENGE! But also lots of fun. You can end your hike/climb with fruit or a natural juice/smoothie that are sold at the start of the trail.

Brilliant place for the family to spend the day together. The enclosures and animals are all so beautiful and amazing you get a real sense about how important conservative is and the effort these places go to in order to achieve this. All of the bird shows and feeding shows are extremely good and I would highly recommend it to anybody ever in Cornwall. The Free bird flying show in particular was incredibly enjoyable.

Breathtaking view at the Baldwin Hills Overlook. This is not even the view at the top. You can certainly drive, we did but I will go back to walk it. Parking was $2 for an hour or $6 for the day. We had a dog with us and theyre not allowed on the unpaved trails. Tons of other walkers and runners. Face coverings are required. Good mental and physical boost with a gorgeous view halfway through your adventure.

This place definitely lived up to the hype!One of the best hikes in LA with a sweeping views of the city unparalleled to any other hike in the city.

Fun place to go with the family and friends. Night time offers a nice look of the cities and day time you can see the Hollywood sign in the distance. It be nice if the bathrooms could stay open longer and the center on top be open to. This place could use a Eagle project or something else. But overall its pretty clean there not that much trash like other places. Even with people taking there dogs there havent seen any evidence of that. So the 4 starts is for the bathroom thing had to leave early to take people to the bathroom. But other than that its a 5 start on a gooood leg work out on the stair climbing theyre not your regular grandparents stairs.

Def good up hill/ down hill and stair workouts. Be careful on the stairs since the steps are not equal distance/ height. There is a place up hill with pull up bars and noticed people carried their own weight equipment up there to workout and enjoy the view. Good view of LA, especially when there is no smog (which is rare).

Nice little park with great views of downtown LA, and mountains off in the distance. If the weather is nice you could get great views of the ocean and mountains all in one place. The hike is not too hard but will definitely get you breathing, and more likely than not, sweating too.

Met my cousin for a workout session on the stairs. Ive heard that these were challenging, but hearing about it and actually doing them are two VERY different things. Ill definitely hit them up every time Im in LA moving forward. They do get kind of packed, so if youre looking to put some work in, get there early. The parking gets pretty tight after 9am or so. Everyone and their mother seems to want to be out on these steps. With the heavy volume of people, if you are in decent shape you will find yourself manuvering around swaths of people. If you arent in great shape, take your time, but dont let it intimidate you. The view at the top is just fine.........

Love this hiking trail. Two options. You can take the famous culver city stairs if you are brave. Second option is the trail path for those who just want to walk and talk. This path also go up hill therefore be careful, safe and enjoy the city view when reach the top.

Nice place!! Just some people dont wear a mask but everything is ok you can keep out of another people.

It’s an intense workout so definitely bring water and make sure you have had something good to eat. Nothing to light but nothing too much. Just to be sure you have something in your tummy. It’s one of me fave places to workout! And the scenery is always beautiful and it feels awesome when you made it to the top.

Cool place, but too crowded on a weekend during covid.

Came at night. Cycled here from about 6 miles away and climbed these stairs with my bike very exhausting. But rewarding when you reach the top. Just make sure to remember to breathe.

This is my favorite park in Los Angeles and a perfect place for laying out on a warm, sunny day! Spectacular views from the top of the park that span the vast SF skyline! And the Painted Ladies: gorgeous!

Great for getting a good workout. Also, if you love hiking, totally recommend this place.

Good amount of street parkingJuice food trucks around the entranceLong staircase and snaking path options

It was my first time here & it was a challenging climb. It was beautiful once I made it to the top. It definitely is a good workout

Hey what can I say. Exercise so you dont dir of a heart attack. Parking can be difficult. Human experience no worries. Nice and chilled. Beautiful view.

Great place to work out, its a tough hill, but worth it.

Beautiful view of west LA! The hike itself isn’t challenging, more like a dirt path, but the stairs will get ya! I like climbing to the top and then doing some body-weight exercises up there while enjoying this incredible view.

This was a nice 30 minute walk/ hike ! 375 steps .. Lots of steps to climb up, we decided to walk down the path and climb up the steps! They are steep stairs to climb. Nice scenic walk can we a couple hour adventure or a quick one. There are bathrooms up top as well as parking. 2 dollars for 1 hour. Nice views of the city! Definitely recommend !!!

This is a popular workout spot for many! A lot we’re going up and down the 200+ steps here! Definitely breathtaking

Culver City stairs is a great place to work out, or have a view. There are quite a few different areas to explore... great views!

Hat to find parking at times; once you make it up, great view.

Its a beautiful place to check out. Small little hike you can explore everything in less than 1 hour and a half. I would go again during the spring time

I am a work out freak and these stairs arent your normal stairs. When you climb its lunging each step of the way. Every visitor is motivating to exercise to the fullest. The view is great once you reach the top. After your workout there are juice vendors at the bottom waiting to offer a boost of energy.

The first time I went up the stairs I almost had a hard attack lol. I heard some people throw up. Really good work out. Running up stairs is good for your lungs because it makes you breathe faster. Also running up stairs for 1 hour you can burn up to 1000 calories. if you looking for a challenge this is it.

This is such a fun place for a workout! Yes it seems to always be busy but it’s so nice to be up there and look at the city from above.

Nice view of the city. Much better now that theyre really taking care of the landscape and maintaining the trails.

Dont do this enough but whenever I do it is fantastic. There are amazingly kind helpful and motivational people who always push me along the way

These stairs are extremely steep amd unpredictable. Must be ready because sky is the limit and once u get to the top its exhausting and beautiful at the same dam time.

Lovely trails capturing all the seasons. Great uphill workout for whatever straining level you prefer- straight n steep or gradual n windy. Once atop, awesome view in all directions.

Free and Open to public. There is some reinnovation going on. However its nice scenic place. Public bathroom and free parking are available. Nice whether. Bring a bottle of water and tight grip shoes if you are looking for some adventurous hiking otherwise you have clean roads as well. Bicycles are allowed unlike other hills. You have choices either you can park your bike on ground or I dare you to climb up

The best workout 100+ super large stairs with a beautiful 360 degree view

Its nice but right now during the pandemic its hella crowded. Its specially crowded after 4pm and after.

If you are depressed and need a break from your negative thought patterns, you may want to try it out. This staircased hike will feel rewarding when you reach the final destination, the scenic view will cleans your soul and definitely give you good enough vibes to store for a few days. Absolutely recommended!

Now, this is a free gym membership LOL. This is a great workout for all levels from beginners to experts. You dont even have to climb the stairs, the trail to the top is also a good workout. I love that once you get almost to the top, theres two trails, one leading to the parking lot and the other leading up to the top. Another bonus is that there is a visitor center where you can learn about how Baldwin hills scenic overlook became and the surrounding wild life. It has clean restrooms, a water refill station and if you dont want to hike up, you can drive up and pay for parking but wheres the fun in that.

Beautiful view! It is a calm and peaceful place to workout at to clear your mind.

We agreed to meet in Berkeley and I promised to find us a place. I wasnt certain exactly what InBaldwin Hills Scenic Overlook, I knew only that I was interested in checking it out. I cant tell if theres hiking but if not well just go on a neighborhood hike was how I put it.

Its a GREAT place to run and work out , and a GREAT place to just get away! Time for yourself...

You gotta see it 2 believe it...

Loved my first time experience there

Its a good place to workout and see a good view from the top to see all of L.A.

Love this place fresh air. Good work out. Nice view of the city

Found a random Polaroid of Taylor Swift on the trail

Nice hike..glad to see the renovations in progress.

Its fun and challenging.. but it needs more light..I sprained my ankle..

If you agree looking for a great workout with a beautiful view then this is the spot! Great environment and a wonderful view to the city.

Fun & Good Cardio but if you arent used to it then get ready for a little burn

The trail is a Bit confusing and Is NOT dog friendly! but a solid workout with epic views of the surrounding LA area. Some of the steps were HUGE and there were Tons of them!! My friend and I are both about 411 and some steps were higher than our knees!So be warned my fun sized friends!Going down was rough and going both ways was anxiety inducing considering my fear of heights. But I made it!We met a bunny friendTheres a visitor center near the top and they do some cool yoga class at the top of the steps (I think its free!)Also parking was a Nightmare (because LA) but also because the store/warehouse thing next door was having some kind of sale and people were lined up down the street for it!There were also cool smoothie trucks at the bottom of the steps so i got an agua fresca and we got acai bowls made to order

Nice moderately intense hike. Great scenery. High volume of regular guest. Highly recommended for the beginning hiker and family hiker, not to difficult for the kids. Well earned 5 star rating.

Great for exercising and spending time with the family. I had so much fun going up the stairs and running on the trail. It may be a bit confusing at first cause the trail is sort of hard to find, And if youre not careful you might fall. Theres no security on the stairs so that might be a problem for some people, But overall I had a great experience and the view is spectacular!

Great view Day and Night a must for local Angelenos good work out bring water and sunscreen could get really HoT HoT HoT

It is wonderful to see the city and the mountains from hereAs well too breathing pure oxygen from the nature

This place is MAGICAL! Its surrounded by main roads and city life but it can offer you all the nature you may need: trees, plants, animals (i.e. lizards, rabbits, hawks, etc.). Once you reach the top, the views are magnificent - particularly later in the day as the sun comes down. If you come in a clear day, you can easily see the Hollywood sign, DTLA, and the ocean. This place is also a hub for people looking to get a challenging workout: dirt trails, big-block stairs (aka Culver City stairs), and a paved road that lead you to the top and bottom. You can certainly get creative with how rigorous you want your workout to be. Parking is not exactly easy to find, but people are constantly leaving. However, if you come between 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM, its probably best to park down the street. In all, you *must* visit this park!

Also it looks nothing like the pictures theres no grass nothings green but the small trees

If you want to get a quick work out before work (or after) this place is great to get the blood pumping!! Yes the stairs may seem like a challenge but dont be discouraged or frightened! Just take your time and walk it up or down as many times your body allows. After your work out enjoy the scenery from great views of LAX, Santa Monica, Culver City, Century City, Hollywood Sign, Downtown L. A. and the communities in between. Its not just a place to sweat it out but perfect to just be one with your thoughts at the very top.

Was pretty near to my place and would rate one of those best places to get a quick HIT staircase climb.You can clearly see the difference in this hike after some rain :) its more beautiful !

Great place to exercise and great view.

Its nice work out. This place just opened and it has more railings installed by the steps. However I noticed people trashing this area with used face masks. And a lot of people are not using face masks. Or people have them around their neck, which is pointless. If you want to come here do it early to avoid the crowds. I got there at 6 am during the week and it was filling up quick.

Been coming here for years to work out. It gets a bit more crowded now but atleast people are actually working out. Please pick up your trash!

Love this place. calm quiet and serene. Its great for a heart-pounding workout or a calm and relaxing walk overlooking the westside of LA!

Great for workout. Ideal for whole family.

Beautiful scenery, but during summer time it is crowded and parking can be challenging.

One of the best places to hike in town, the views are awesome and even though its a short distance is not an easy trail

Long staircase is shortcut to hill top, you can also hiking longer distance but easier to top. Amazing view while you arrived hill top. Good for exercise.

I wish I could say I got to go to the top, but they have a gate thats closed to vehicles after posted times. Theres a long and steep walk up for pedestrians.

Love going. But you need to go early. Sun beaming on you just gets too hot.

Nice place to get away without going too far from home

It is a very nice place to take pictures of Los Angeles. The stairs for me were a little bit too high so I ended up with very sore legs but it was all worth it.

A great workout and great views. Take the stairs up and the trail down to save your knees and get a change of scenery.

If you go, you need to climb and descend 3 times for an adequate workout!

Beautiful hike with great views and awesome different species of native plants to see.

Excellent parking, friendly people, 290 steps of different size, very good workout and a good view point to see the ocean, Westwood Beverley Hills, Holly Wood and Downtown Los Angeles.

Let’s go for a hike or climb the stairs to heaven. Great place to get a nice workout in

A good place fot walking into nature in the middle of the city!

These stairs are not for the faint-hearted. But once you conquer them a magnificent view of Los Angeles awaits you!

A lovely spot of nature in the middle of a metropolis. Thank goodness for open spaces, native plants and animals. Lots of choices for more or less exercise and lots of friendly people. Amazing panoramic views of LA on a clear day.

Great place for an afternoon walk-date with a scenic view of L.A.

Booty workout on !!! If you do the stairs option be mindful that this is high impact on your knees!!!! You can hike as an alternative to the top. Enjoy!

Beautiful view and a great workout. You can take the stairs all the way up like a badass, or you can take it easy and take the trails that’s not very steep. It both leads to the top with amazing city views. Bring plenty water and a light jacket with you.

It took us a bunch of time to get to the top, my short legs couldn’t climb faster, but this is not a complaint, for the view we got while taking the steps led me to a state of awe. If I lived nearby definitely it would be my workout space.Btw, do NOT even think about forgetting to fill you water bottle before going there!!!

What a great spot! Easily accessible, lovely drive through Culver City to get there. Beautiful views of the valley and the coast. Wildflowers. Restrooms. Nice trails.

Great stairs work out, its roughly 1/4 mile climbing up. If youre not into doing the stairs there are trails path that is cleared and you could use it. The park hours are stated as 8am to sunset but you can actually go there as early as 5 am as long as its not too dark. It gets somehow crowded between 8-10am. There are available parking spots in the street with 2 he time limit and also paid parking spots on the street too. If you drive up to the top of the overlook there are also few paid parking spots with handicap parking spaces also available. There is a small water fountain in the top and restrooms for both female and males. A little bench if you would like to sit, picnic have a meal. Scenery is beautiful you have the view of the entire DTLA, century City, and the ocean when its clear.

The stair way to heaven is a great work out and has an amazing view of the city on clear days.

Ive been wanting to do the stairs and finally did it. I found parking easily and it wasnt too hot or crowded

Great views and comfortable walk paths. Wasnt too crowded even on a holiday weekend

Drive or walk to top; pay parking, restrooms, and water fountains at top/visitor center. Excellent 360 degree views of LA. Very little shade.

Good place to work out! The stairs are fun, they can get crowded. Bring water!

Just a beautiful place for working out and hiking

Great views, always a breeze coming from the ocean, and has really good variety in the hikes.

So clean and beautiful! I mean it’s stunning during MAY! Go in the summer and you won’t see so many beautiful flowers

If you’re ever looking for a place to get a good workout I’m nature among likeminded people, this is your place. You can choose to walk up the stairs to the top of the mountain, which is a great leg and cardiovascular workout. Or you can go up the service road which is challenging as well. The stairs can get kind of congested during peak hours, but everyone is always friendly and adds to the great energy. There is street parking as well as metered parking.

Another great spot for the beautiful scenes Los Angeles has to offer.
