EL DORADO NATURE CENTER REVIEWS
I love bringing my kid here! It's nice to feel like you can escape to the forest, even in the middle of the city. We love going in the spring, when all the flowers are in bloom, but it's honestly a good place to go any time of year.
What an amazing hidden gem buried in Long Beach, right next to a freeway. You'll feel transported into the middle of a forest and nature. It's a great walk with so many sites and sounds and smells. Definitely a must-go.
Great easily accessible trail for almost anyone. The 2 mile trail is a breeze and there are enough turnouts throughout if you overestimated yourself and can't do 2 miles. There is also a 1 mile loop and a quarter mile paved loop.

OCEAN TRAILS RESERVE REVIEWS
Very easy walk for those who are not trying or able to do an intense hike. Starts off paved for the most part with a couple different ways to go but then turns to a dirt path going down to the beach. Great place for some peace and clarity and doesn't seem to ever be crowded. Wish I would have taken pictures for a more detailed review.
Beautiful views????if you wish you can go down to the beach area full of rock I recommend to wear appropriate shoes if you like to collect rocks there are so many beautiful ones here????
I love this place it has such a nice view and great to walk and enjoy.

DOMINGUEZ GAP WETLANDS REVIEWS
This place is located right behind my house. It is an excellent walking trail and also an access point to get onto the bike trail that runs along the LA River. You can enjoy some very interesting wildlife here. I have seen some beautiful and unusual birds. The ducks are aleveryday resident of this pond. Maybe three times I have run into snakes but totally harmless and minding their own business. So if you bring your children they do get to see ducks and during spring a lot of ducklings. I take my dog here everyday.
I just answered a couple of questions for Google and it's asking me about bringing kids restrooms the things like that it is a good place to bring your kids who learn about nature I guess but be careful of the homeless people there are several camps around the area stay on your toes
Its a wonderful area for a walk! Can be accessed from the street and from the LA River bike bath. Street parking is a little weird but available. Bring your hat and binoculars and be prepared to see lots of cool birds ????
