Beginning at the Inglewood & Ballona Metro Bike Share Station, we will roll on the Ballona Creek bike path, stopping to admire the sights and spot the birds (Herons, Egrets, and many other species call this space home), and return on the same path.

The path extends through the cities of Los Angeles and Culver City, passing by the Baldwin Hills and the Ballona Wetlands, and, at its terminus at Playa del Rey, connects to the beach bike path.The trail and bike paths are popular with cyclists, runners, strollers, and skaters—especially on weekends. The Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, in partnership with Federal, State, County and nonprofit partners, is a critical participant in numerous projects to make the bike path more accessible and attractive while improving habitat quality along the creek.Click here to learn more about the species that call Ballona Creek home.
