Polo 101

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!

Very Relaxing

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

Fantastic views and a lost neighborhood

by grammatke

Will Rogers is a great place to start and end a day hike. My favorite hike here takes you up the ridge for great views and back down the eastern canyon through an overgrown street that is now part of the park. Hike up the hill past Inspiration Point continuing up past a bridge. After crossing the bridge, take the next trail down to the right. You will find some erie sights down here as you walk past old foundations and frames of houses long gone. After completing your hike, the polo grounds offer a great place to relax and enjoy the afternoon.
