Had a great time today at Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area at Culver City. Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area is one of the areas best kept secrets nestled in the foothills of La Cienega Blvd. The park includes 380 acres of recreational area, large areas of native coastal sage scrub habitat, lawns and landscaped areas, picnic sites, tot lots, fishing lake, lotus pond, community center and five miles of trails. There are six restrooms; the community center has four administrative offices and a small meeting room.

One of the most actively used features is the park’s variety of footpaths and trails. The Burke Roche Trail and the Rim Trail are the most recent trails created. More than 7 miles of existing trails include the Burke Roche trail which is 2.2 miles, the Bowl Loop at 0.8 miles, the Ridge trail at 2.6 miles, the Waterfall Trail at one mile and the Ballfield Walking Path at one half-mile.

Active recreation and facilities in KHSRA include the following:

Four playgrounds
One half basketball court
One fishing lake
Two lighted baseball diamonds
One lit multi-purpose field
One sand volleyball court
One administrative building with a meeting room


Passive recreation includes eight picnic rental shelters and 100 picnic tables throughout the park. There are also eight large barbecue pits and 60 small ones dispersed throughout the park.
