Confirmed from Sunset View Park'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 featuring picnic tables and walking routes with scenic views of the Port of Los Angeles.
What runners say about Sunset View Park
“You experience a beautiful view of the city of Long Beach from here!”
Cool breeze with the view of Long beach harbor. Please keep quiet and respect neighbors. On a clear day, it offers a 270-degree view of Long Beach, West LA, Downtown LA, and the Angeles Crest Mountains. I don't remember if there was a restroom, but it wasn't very crowded when I went. There's no admission fee.
Fantastic views all around Long Beach from the top of Signal Hill. Popular spot to watch the sunset.
Great little vantage point overlooking the city 🏙 of Long Beach from Signal Hill.
Top o' the world 'round these parts, eh? Fantastic evening vistas in essentially every direction - you won't be disappointed. Usually there are families out for a stroll, friends chatting on benches, neighborhood folks walking their dogs, runners atrot on the promenade path.
