Baldwin Hills hike and optional park planning meeting afterward

CHANGE OF PLANS--THIS WEEK ONLY

HIKE AT KENNETH HAHN PARK FROM 5 TO 7PM, THEN COME STATE YOUR OPINION ABOUT THE NEW BALDWIN HILLS NATURE CENTER

FREEWAY DIRECTIONS: the closest freeway to this hike is the 10. Take the La Cienega Blvd offramp and go south 1 mile (past the Target store--La Cienega turns into a freeway with limited exits and no way to make a u-turn) Continue to the park entrance at the first bridge over La Cienega. You will see a big sign saying "Kenneth Hahn park". Get in the right lane on La Cienega to exit onto the ramp to the bridge. Turn left at the top of the bridge. Continue into the park past the little parking fee shack. Do not pay to park (only required on weekends and holidays.) We will park at the first lot on the left after entering the park--there is a sign saying "Olympic Forest". Park in the first spaces you see ofter the "Olympic Forest" sign. The trail is located on the ridgeline to the east. We will hike north from the parking lot to the Japanese gardens, then up the ridge to the pagodas, and follow the ridge top trail south to Stocker street, then backtrack and end at the Community Room building.
