Baldwin Hills - Scenic Overlook
More commonly known as the Culver City Stairs, this extremely popular hillside park can get crowded at times with locals climbing the 282 oversized steps to the top. Sweeping views from the ocean to downtown LA are the reward. The Park-To-Playa trail connects the overlook to the Hahn Recreation Area for more hiking opportunities.
