Arroyo Park Nature Preserve

This is one of my favorite places to walk. You get the feel of hiking without going up the mountain. The terrain is rocky but there aren't really any hills to climb or steep inclines. The park is sandwiched between the Kern Place & Rim Area Neighborhoods so you can't really get lost. It's roughly two miles If you stay within the park.If you walk to the far end of the park (towards the mountains), you can cross the road (Robinson Ave) & head towards Palisades Canyon Loop. The trails are also good for mountain bikers. So, if you're walking or running the trail, keep an eye out for bikes.
