Wilacre Park: An Urban Oasis

June 4, 2013 by  
Filed under Things to Do

Wilacre Park in Studio City offers hiking opportunities for people looking to stretch their legs and get out of dodge for a few hours. The 128-acre park in Fryman Canyon provides breathtaking views of Studio City and the surrounding L.A. neighborhoods. Hikers note that though the trail starts off steep, it quickly turns into a wide, easy, well-shaded walking path that is popular with families, dog-walkers, and bicyclists. Serious hikers will appreciate that Wilacre Park connects to longer and more challenging trails, but novices especially love that the main trail loops back around to the starting point, making it a failsafe option for those lacking confidence in their hiking skills. Though less crowded than some other popular hiking trails in L.A., Wilacre Park still attracts plenty of visitors, especially on weekends, and regulars caution that parking can be tough to find, so be prepared to pay the nominal fee and park in the park's lot.

Grand Central Market is the perfect place to experience the flavor of Los Angeles in an open air environment with a kaleidoscope of wares. It’s been a fixture since 1917, with fresh fruits, veggies, meat, poultry and fish sold on the ground floor of the historic Homer Laughlin Building in downtown L.A.'s Historic Core District. Stroll among the aisles of goodies and fill your basket with herbs, spices, nuts, plants, cut flowers, preserves and homemade candies. If you get hungry, there’s plenty to eat, with gigantic burritos, rotisserie chicken, Cuban sandwiches, and other fare sold by the many food vendors. Eat in the dining area or head across the street to Angels Knoll Park and have a picnic. Open Mondays through Sundays from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m.
