One of the newer outdoor spaces in Los Angeles, Ascot Hills Park officially opened in 2011 but its history goes way back to the 1930s. The public open space spans nearly a hundred acres and includes a serene canyon, large hills, and miles and miles of multi-use trails. From certain points of the park, you’ll be able to see LAX, downtown Los Angeles, the Hollywood sign, and the San Gabriel Mountains on a clear weather day. With a difficulty rating of PG, it’s a great place for hiking with first time or new hikers as well as younger hikers.
