Join us for our inaugural WalkGood LA-Park to Playa Trail 5K. Whether you walk it or opt to run, this event brings neighborhoods, groups, families, and individuals outside together along the Park to Playa Trail at Kenneth State Recreational Area (KHSRA)—a key hub of the 13.5-mile urban nature trail connecting Baldwin Hills-View Park to the Pacific Ocean.
Build your team and be part of this exceptional walk/run event. The WalkGood LA-Park to Playa Trail 5K will mark the culmination of Park to Playa Trail-themed family- and community-targeted events and activities at KHSRA, Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook, Stoneview Nature Center, and Baldwin Hills &: Urban Watersheds Conservancy in 2024.
