Runyon Canyon Park
Runyon Canyon Park sits in the heart of Los Angeles, just north of Sunset Boulevard. Dating back to the late 19th century, it was initially part of the 1,000-acre estate owned by H.J. Whitley, often referred to as the "Father of Hollywood." Today, this urban park serves as a popular destination for hiking and outdoor recreation, featuring a network of trails that span approximately 3.5 miles. Open year-round, the park offers visitors a chance to enjoy scenic views of the city and observe various wildlife, including over 150 species of birds. With its diverse terrain and well-maintained paths, Runyon Canyon Park welcomes locals and tourists alike for a refreshing escape from the city bustle.
