Brought the family for a bike ride and we loved it. You not only get a good workout you also get to enjoy the great outdoors.

This is the smallest park around this area. It has a lawn area for picnic. 2 picnic benches with tables. 1 adult exercise equipment. No playground for the kids. It does have decently maintained bathrooms. I believe most of the people come here to go biking with he biking trail.

Would be a 5 stars from me if not smelly and litters. I went down to the river very hesitant to go down there but I figure since I'm there, just go and be done with. Trashes overshadow the beauty of the stream. …

Good for bike riding or long walks but has many homeless encampments and trash so be careful... also high ⚡ voltage lines overhead so i don't know how strong those magnetic fields are

Questions & Answers

Hey everyone I work for the County of Los Angeles and just a little heads up Bosque is not open 24 hours and any vehicle left there after 730pm/sundown will be locked in and you will have to contact sheriffs to come unlock the gate.

Yes this is VERY TRUE.

It’s cleaned up so nicely now. Still, one should never venture alone in the nearby hiking and biking trails. It’s still considered “free rent” to the local homeless. The trails make for good hiding.

During the day I would say it is pretty safe. I have been a few times recently (may2021) and have not encountered any issues.

Yes, there are some dirt paths, but it's all fairly flat and also connects to the Rio Hondo Bike Path. The bike path is a shared-use, flat, paved road. To be honest, there's not much to see here, though there is some kind of outlet basin less than half a mile out. I would recommend checking out the small trails at the Whittier Narrows Nature Center instead.

Is it stroller friendly ?
