Best For
Cyclists and runners needing a rest stop.
Egret Park, situated in the Elysian Valley of Los Angeles, is less of a traditional park and more of a rest area for those traversing the LA River bike trail. The park provides shaded seating, making it a convenient spot for cyclists and runners to pause and regroup. While it lacks typical park amenities like grass, water fountains, and restrooms, it serves as a waypoint with a view of the concrete-lined river. Visitors should be mindful of their surroundings, especially during low traffic times.
