Confirmed from Stoneview Nature Center's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park offering hiking trails, picnic tables, and kids’ programs.
What runners say about Stoneview Nature Center
“It appears to provide child friendly nature programs scheduled, and the center is ultra clean, to boot!”
“Connected to Kenneth Hahn by a super cool bridge over La Cienega on one side and to the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook by a hiking path on the other side.”
“Fruit trees and bushes that you're allowed to pick from if you find anything ripe, lots of events for all ages, quiet place to walk around.”

This review is for the hike trail that connects the stone view nature center to the Kenneth hanh state park. Our scouts did a hike here and it was amazing. It was a bit challenging for younger ones but anyone grade 4 and above would have no issues.
Omg I took the kids I babysit (ages 8 and 5) here and they LOVED it. Growing up in urban LA, they were amazed by the trees and waterfall and forests. We actually came back a second time after they begged me and we explored for 4 more hours.
Serene park in the middle of Los Angeles hectic city. Easy to dive up on any day and always a place to park. You can stop in on a hike from Kenneth Hahn state recreation park or from Baldwin steps.
