This recently opened park (as of 2018) was lovely, with plenty of green space, restrooms, and dog-friendly (they must be on a leash). Typically very quiet, during a pandemic holiday, it was teeming with families and visitors. The Metro Gold line runs right past, and Chavez Ravine is just west...you can see Dodger Stadium’s lights. Perfect for a picnic or a place to exercise. Enjoy your local parks!

Beautifully designed, huge lawn to picnic or lay down the sun or tree shadows. Kids, dogs, couples, friends all together having fun. Very respectful people wearing mask all the time and keeping 6 apart. Can park on site or rear parking.

Great place for exercising and having picnics. This place may not be the prettiest park but its passable. This is a great place if u want to get a breath of fresh air. At this place you can put all your worries down and just daydream

Amazing place! Its open, windy, breezy and cool. Best place to jog, exercise, picnic or just to walk! Take the Goldline train to the Chinatown Station which is only one stop from the Union Station. You can also park at the Blossom Plaza by the station.

A beautiful and scenic park. Parking here is 2/hr or 4 dollars for all day. Portapotties are available. There arent places to wash hands but they do provide hand sanitizer.

The park is modern and well kept. It has easy access to the metro. A nice place for relaxing walk.

Its not big, but this park is like a small, peaceful, grassy oasis. Perfect for a picnic, a workout, or a short walk. It closes each night which is unfortunate since you cant stay long after sunset, but it also ensures the there are no homeless and that it feels extremely safe. Free parking as well.

Came by to enjoy the scenery from the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge. This place does live up to the hype of TripAdvisors #1 Tourist spot in CA!It was pleasantly unwindy and crowds were light upon arrival late morning. Parking was available and the scenery was beautiful!...bring some pastries and enjoy the scenery and hike up to the top!No admission fee or parking charges either!

Good use of space for park. Lots of open space. Unfortunately no permanent restrooms or readily available seating areas or covered space.

Had a great time hiking Runyon Canyon and seeing all the doggies on the trail. The climb was mild-moderate difficulty and has a great view of the city even though we went on a fairly foggy day. Everyone on the trail was so nice and we struck up conversation with a few groups and took pictures for each other. Parking was a little challenging but we ultimately found street parking on Fuller Ave.

Great park, lots of dogs, plenty of space, grass, paths and Views of dtla.. nice place for a picnic, run, walk with the dog or place to workout outdoors with plenty of social distancing space. Love the park.. go to the bathroom prior though..

This place is rather awesome! This is the fantastic destination if you want to take the spouse and kids, you can also go with your friends. I usually just take a modest trip on my own here alone. The environment and the scenery is great to be around, thats why it helps me to thoroughly clean my head.

Awesome clean and plenty of open green space. Many locals jog around the park, while others use the large grassy area to let their kids or dogs run around. The park does not have any playgrounds. Also, you make at pay to park. Plenty of street parking on weekends.

Love coming here and walking the different trails! Also recommend sitting by the lake and waterfalls is definitely relaxing especially under the shade! Came here recently for a wedding and it was beautiful :-)

It is well kept and has a beautiful downtown l.a. background. Dogs are welcome on a leash only. People were very respectful in keeping their distance from others.

Beautiful views of the city and beyond. I came here on a Saturday afternoon, so there was definitely a large amount of people trying to walk, drive, bike and park all over the place. I passed the first few turnouts and opted to park farther up the road and walk back to the trail I wanted to take me to Kirby Cove.I live locally in the East Bay and love to plan a day to come here and explore, and then hit up some of my favorite spots in Los Angeles.

It was truly overwhelming that I went to this park. To spent time was worth it and remarkable. Till next time!

Best Best dog park!! off leash is ok here. big, friendly, clean and nice view here.People here loves dogs. The view is awesome and the trail is not hard.My dogs have a very good time and exercise today. Definitely, will visit again in the future

This is the great location where you can take the kids, you can also go with friends. I normally simply take a little hike by myself here alone. The surroundings and the scenery is relaxing to be around, and it also allows me to thoroughly clean my thoughts.

Took my little boy to Fort Funston today aka Doggy Heaven and it did not disappoint! He absolutely loved it! He decided he was a mountain climber and went for his first mini swim and played with all sorts of dogs and got SO dirty that we both needed a bath and a 4 hour nap when we came home but it was worth it. Cant wait to take him back!

Beautiful, clean, well-maintained park in the middle of downtown Los Angeles urban outdoors. You can bring you pet, have picnic (no alcoholic beverage and bbq). I would say a jewel. We will surely be back.

I will be back this place. Beautyful place. Be peaceful. Good time hike for summer. I think look romantic at winner. I love this place.

This park keeps getting better with time. A short drive from Boyle Heights. Park fell with a city view. Great place to picnic or workout outdoors.

Incredible open space just outside of downtown with an excellent view of the city skyline. Great spot for an open air, socially distant picnic!

Its a young park. I’ve been watching the trees grow in size as I’ve been riding the train by it each morning as I go to work. We finally visited and what I noticed as the wonderful birdsong. So many lovely songs. It was a peaceful morning and I really enjoyed the markers explaining the park’s history and how it came to be. Nice

I love taking my dog here. He gets to run around and play with other dogs. Its a great exercise and the views are so beautiful. Go down to the beach -- why not?!

I ordered the chicken tacos and cauliflower side dish. Both were tasty. The ceviche was so good that one guest ordered her own after being offered a taste from the person next to her. Several guests ordered and enjoyed margaritas. One of my friends is very particular about her wine and was offered a sample - which led to a few glasses being ordered it was that good.

Great views of downtown. Kids love having a picnic and flying kites here. Definitely a zen peaceful place in the city to come and decompress.

Simply having a small walk is one of my personal favorite things to do along the vicinity. At times it can be crowded, therefore I suggest to go around the less popular days during the workweek. The best thing you can do here is simply just get a SLR and take images. My spouse and I visit here routinely.

Favorite outdoor area for humans and dogs in the city. I love the hiking trails and views and my chihuahua/terrier mix loves running on the beach. So much open space for dogs and humans to get some fresh air.Great for dogs to socialize too.

Great place for a live concert! We visited for Odesza and I would happily return. There’s a great way to actually take in concerts for free, by just parking on the side of the park that’s on the hill, above the train tracks. We would do that again - as we did for the second night of their two-night series.

Very spacious and breezy. Can pick up food and drinks next door at highland park brewery. Enough space to spread out and away from others. Will bring bikes for my kids. Next time.

Spacious, green, and well maintained. Wish there was more shade though. Park on the street to avoid their ridiculous parking prices.

Very clean and maintained park. Great place to get away from the smell of the downtown and get a little kind-of-fresh air.

Hard not to love this park! Came here on a Sat morning- drove through the hustle of the city to find QUIET in the middle of the park. So peaceful! Had a quick sit down at a picnic table to finish my coffee and enjoyed the fresh air!

Wonderful park just outside of DTLA. Great walking path around the perimeter (~1 mile). Wide open green space for picnics and exercising. Nice, well-maintained facilities with great views of the downtown skyline.

This is my fur boys favorite park and i love and enjoy It also.

This is a nice chill open space to walk or have a small picnic. Super clean and spacious. There’s parking but it’s metered.

Ok, SO. This park...it really is the fantastic area in which to come with the family, you can also go along with classmates and friends. I normally just take a modest walk by myself here by myself. The surroundings as well as the scenery is wonderful to be around, and it allows me to clear my mind.

The parks the shape of an eyebrow! this park raises eye brows!!! /:) hey mayor Garcetti build a gosh darn cross walk!! Think of the children!!! It’s a park for the community. It’s a hidden gem of Los Angeles to come and visit it’s the most well maintained park I’ve ever visited and the rangers will talk to you for days!! their amazing people who protect our state parks.

The park experience is a serenely tranquil space. Love it.

Really nice park, just not a lot of shade because the trees are still young.

Great park, and tons of space. Great view of DTLA skyline.

When there not a lot of people this is the best place to enjoy relaxation breathe in fresh air and let your mind rest (((the less people the better relaxation)))

The city has really cleaned up this park!!! Its so beautiful and enjoyable now

This place is soo fun! So simple yet so fun. I felt like a kid again. Definitely recommend giving this hidden place a try. Side note wear old shoes if you dont want your shoes getting messed up mine got scratched and filed down lol

Super clean and plenty of open green space. Many locals jog around the park, while others use the large grassy area to let their kids or dogs run around. The park does not have any playgrounds. Also, you make at pay to park. Plenty of street parking on weekends.

So nice......you can walk safely, lots of normal people

Amazing old school and historical place highly recommend you come to this place and get the vibes.

Newish park. Great place to walk or jog.

I love visiting this park. Sunsets are nice, you can see the City skyline in the distance. The Gold line station, Chinatown restaurants and Philippes are walking distance . Its a nice venue to see concerts too.

Best park in the LA Core, no tents or trash, very clean, recommend to work out or for a picnic!

We rented a car and drove over here in the early afternoon the other day.It was just after a day of torrential downpours and flooding in some parts of the city...and it was a grey-is day. But then, the sun made an appearance, just awhile before it set.Oh. My. Beauty.If you arent already in love with Los Angeles, come here....and you will remember why youre here.

ODESZA!!!!! Really cool place for concerts! Lots of space to hang out and chill with friends and family. Im pretty skeptical of outdoor concert venues (other than Red Rocks Amphitheater), but was pleasantly surprised with the sounds and lights at this park.

This is one masive park. To bad you have to pay for everything you enter. Great for walks, jogging and children.

As always very clean, beautiful and spacious. I always had a great time with kids and family.

Amado is a very professional installer. I recommend him for any glass repair and installation.

Please be careful when parking or driving around the parking lot, lots of unleashed dogs running around. As well as walking too close to cliffs, there have been incidents of the land giving in. Safety! Other than that what an absolute gem :) my favorite place in all of bay area. We frequent here at least 4-5 times a week.

Going on your own is fine but this park is definetly a great place to enjoy with others. People relaxing, some playing catch and a nice view of downtown; next time ill bring a frisbee and a friend.

Always great. Cute puppers and doggos afoot.

It is so beautiful and it had some many cultural events it so wonderful and was able to witness a commercial taking place wanted to apply to be a model but they were full it was annoying but anyways the park is lovely the only way to truly know is by going and checking out yourself

Renegrade Craft Festival is happening this weekend starts at 11am-6pm. With over 200 vendors, food trucks, and drinks. Lots of things for women, men, kids, pets. From clothes, hats, accessories, plants, succulents, jewelry, teas, craft drinks, and so much more. So much to see. There was a lot of people today. And Im sure it will be the same tomorrow. They are charging for parking $20. Or you can park around the commercial buildings. Something to definitely check out if youre in the area.

İf would be nice, there was a place inside where we could buy water and food.

Good place to enjoy a run, walk or a hangout. Just wish there was more shade.

Our dog loves her time at Fort Funston. She can play along with all of the other dogs and we can enjoy the beautiful cliffs and beach.

Its nice but its right next to the metro rail and kind of a ghetto area

They have been investing in this place. I like it more now that is has more green in it

Great green environment in the Heart of LA. Its a must visit when in the city.

Amazing place! Its open, windy, breezy and cool. Best place to jog, exercise, picnic or just to walk!

Plenty of spaces to lay around under trees or play in the grass. Restrooms and parking available.

Is very important place i got the privilege.see it under construction

This itty-bitty park is a ginormous amount fun... just beware of the crazy aproned wicked witch of the west! She comes out and tries to shame you our of their community park and then if that doesnt work, threatens to call the cops. This is total b.s.. Its a public park and our tax monies support it. We are welcome there, as is anyone else before dark, as the sign says.

This park is a great open space for strolling or dog walking. The trees are not yet mature, but the pathways are well planned. Plento of benches and walkways for meandering and contemplating.

Great place to walk & enjoy the outdoors with an awesome view of DTLA. Plenty of parking spaces available, they have numerous park benches & tables throughout to sit down & relax along with trash receptacles for those who choose to walk their pets. Im a pet owner myself & the only thing that can become a nuisance is the irresponsible pet owners who choose to walk their dogs without picking up after them. So make sure when you do walk here to scan your path, last thing you want to experience is stepping in dog feces & smelling it all the way home due to a lazy pet owner.

Got to go to the Head in the Clouds festival here this year. Absolutely phenomenal!! Unreal music with downtown LA in the background is a winning combination. They did a great job managing like 25,000 people in the park all afternoon as well. Cant wait for next year

This park has gone through many physical and aesthetic changes through the last 10 years. They have finally nailed . Great looking park with plenty of space to maneuver.

City of L.A. is in the process to building our own Central Park, yes like NY and so far its growing on me. What I like is the open space, a walking/running path, dogs have to stay on a leash & restroom are very clean (pre-covid), the best part you can take the L= Gold Line there to avoid parking fees. Actually, it may cost the same unless you have a metro pass, right! lol

Great for festivals, and its kept very clean!

Watched Odeza perform here and it was a great outdoor space. It has easy access from the metro and convenient drop off locations for ride share. The park looks like it would be a great place even when not used as an outdoor venue for live music.

Such a lovely park. Great for kids to cycle. Beautiful landscaping and tons of space to picnic.

Its a BEAUTIFUL little gem near downtown

Beautiful place for the whole family to hang and walk around. Perfect for running, working out and biking. Outdoor adventures. Plenty of pay for parking. Restrooms only portable potties no place to wash your hands.Beautiful

Its nice placeclean and big park

Los Angeles State Historic Park provides an extraordinary opportunity for recreation and education in the heart of Los Angeles. Often referred to as “Central Park of Los Angeles,” within its 32 acres of open space directly adjacent to Chinatown, park visitors can wander pathways and enjoy a view of downtown, as well as discover and celebrate the natural and cultural heritage of Los Angeles. Some of the parks amenities include bathrooms, water fountain, and benches. Plenty of street parking available. You can run, walk, ride a bike, have a picnic, fly a kite and even look for urban wildlife such as birds traveling down the Pacific flyway. You can see the Metro Gold line pass through the park. Overall, its a good place to hangout, do fun activities and watch the sunset.

So much flat, open space..a rarity in these parts. A great place to relax with a community vibe. Especially enjoy it at the end of the day.

Beautiful getaway from the city in the city. Take a walk and grab wonkok after.

My first time being here since its renovation. Pretty large park. Nice spot to get away from the noisiest parts of LA.

Beautiful park. This is the first time Ive been since they remodeled the park!

Pros - beautiful views, long track for running/walking, picnic areas, trees to lay in the shade under, bathrooms, drinking fountains, elevated viewing area, ample paid parking, adjacent free street parking, visible ranger presence, friendly staff/management, clean and well maintainedCons - no crosswalk on spring/pedestrian hazard, hours are wildly random, bathrooms are frequently closed, several of the pedestrian gates are never open forcing visitors to enter through the active driveways, festivals usage seems poorly managed, notifications of festivals and events are not posted to notify visitors of future closures, grass has been dead the majority of the time that the park had been open (this may be because the water is coming from the LA river but if it’s the water killing the grass than how safe is it for the kids to play on)I work across the street and take walk my dog in the park at least once a day for the past 6 years. The new park has definitely major upgrade from the previous one, but there are several areas that could use improvement.

Best park in DTLA! Some actual nice open green space right next to the city. So happy this exists.

Wide open spaces, walking paths, dogs allowed, as well as a parking lot, its great!

Was here for 2 music events, both at night. Both were well run and the venue itself... the park that is, is an awesome place to see a show because it’s roomy and outside and there is a little hill out in front of the main stage that makes watching fun and relaxing. — not sure how it rates for a daytime park but for concerts is awesome (and generally don’t like concerts)

My only complaint is that they should have planted some more mature trees to offer some shade. It is an extremely open space, and brutally hot during the daytime. My love for this place is that it is a clean place downtown to take your dog for a walk. I havent stepped on broken glass, or seen, or smelled human poop so far like everywhere else downtown. (Sorry, but its the truth)

Beautiful. Clean. My new favorite spot in LA.

What a beautiful hidden treasures right in the hear if downtown la! A larger open expanse nustled right next to China Town and open to the public daily. The. Lawns are meticulously kept and the park tedously clean. A perfect place to bring some bikes, kids and dogs. I was there for a craft fair and couldnt imagine a more exquisite venue for expertly hand crafted goods.

Nice place to walk, and have a good time relaxing very clean

Very hot. Because the yrees are so young, theres not much shade.

I participated in the One Life Walk LA. I prayed two whole Rosaries and a Chaplet of Divine Mercy on the walk. Lots of beautiful people gathered for what matters most...Life. The park was excellent. I just wish there were more trees.

It is a very nice place to hang out with a spectacular view of Downtown Los Angeles and city hall. It is a great place to explore and jog, bike, and wall around its paths. There isnt anything to do here other than explore

This is such cool place ..I been going f there since it was call the corn fields...
