Editorial Review for Will Rogers State Historic Park – by Stephanie L. Smith
In Short
For a man who claimed to only know what he read in the papers, Will Rogers sure knew his real estate. A wide grassy expanse slopes down the hillside in front of Rogers' unassuming 31-room, split-level ranch house. Ringed by eucalyptus and lush with clover, it's a fine spot for a picnic, a game of Frisbee or lollygagging in the sun. Main attractions include the spring and summer polo matches, a paddock, stables, roping arena and several horse-friendly trails.

This is one of L.A.'s best kept secret. A great day trip! Picnic, hike. watch a polo match, and enjoy a coastal sunset. Worth it to restore & energize!

My husband and I took a Sunday drive to the park just to watch the polo match and see the grounds. For many of us who never have an opportunity to see a polo match, this is your chance. The Park entrance fee is affordable and you can pack a picnic to enjoy some quality time with loved ones while watching the polo ponies prance down the field.
Pros: quiet, ocean/mtn views
