LOCAL WALKING SPOT BLOOMS WITH COLOR





For those of you who enjoy walking, Rynerson Park in Lakewood might be worth a visit. Spring blooms are in profusion right now and offer a visual color feast for the eyes. Walking path wends its way around the perimeter of an expansive grassy area, passing by the backside of Lakewood Equestrian Center. Bunnies, next to the stables, can be seen sitting in the grass, nibbling away on spring greens.

Besides being a nice spot for exercise enthusiasts, this park is also a great place for moms with young children in strollers.

Bicyclists can access the San Gabriel River bike path from a wooden bridge at Rynerson Park, which is located at Del Amo Blvd. and Studebaker Rd.: Google map
