L.A. River Pocket Parks


Discover the hidden gems along the L.A. River. These parks are part of the most promising effort underway in Los Angeles today - the transformation of the Los Angeles River into a continuous 51-mile recreational greenway. Working with these cities, community groups, public agencies, private corporations and nonprofit organizations, the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority are creating a greenway composed of trails, parks, and natural lands. The greenway provides new recreational opportunities for the heavily urbanized communities surrounding the river as well as enhancing economic vitality.
