Alright I live in the South Bay so forgive me if it seems a little tilted to the southern part of the city.
Hiking:
Del Cerro Park - its in Palos Verdes all the way down at the end of Crenshaw.
Runyon Cannon Park - this is where a lot of Hollywood folks take their hiking photos for the gram. I haven’t been in about 7 years but I remember the way down kind of kicked my ass.
Culver City Stairs - this is a nice spot to look at ass and get a good workout. Also there are some excellent views overlooking the city and Baldwin Hills once you get to the top. Its very active spot to go, especially when its hot.
Los Liones Trailhead - near Pacific Palisades. I discovered this place when the chick I met at the Veveu Cliqot event suggested we go there for our firs date. You want to park on the street near the Church of Latter Day Saints and start there. The first 45 min is a bitch but after you get through the narrow trail and trees, there are some nice views at the top overlooking the city. Not as good as Runyon though.
Walking/People Watching
Aviation Park aka Redondo Beach track - on Aviation and Manhattan. This is a spot I used to go run at. It be tons of folks out there, kids playing soccer, adults on the track, personal trainers getting the sessions on. I drive past there every morning and I see ass in spandex early getting it in. Lol
Wilson Park - in Torrance. Nice spacious area. People all over. I discovered this place in the height of the pandemic cause Redondo Beach track was closed.
Beach
Dockweiler Beach - I know folks in here are on Manhattan and all but if you want to go where OUR people are whether its a Labor day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, MLK, etc, this the place to be. Black folks set up shop here. I remember riding my bike down the strand one day and I saw a whole crowd of AKAs and Deltas.
Thats all I got for now.
Cool. Right on.I also want to mention walk the Strand. It ain’t a park but you’ll catch a lot of eye candy while you get your walk on
Yeah I’m familiar with the South Bay. I don’t know how much is open since they shut everything down. So you saying if I go there now I’m good to go all these places?
