Green Spaces
We Love
Across Los Angeles, there are remarkable pockets of natural wonder that invite exploration and offer a chance to pause, breathe, and reset as a classroom or family. These “green field trips” highlight some of our favorite natural spaces, and reflect our larger mission to protect, restore, and create even more places like them.

Will Rogers Historic State Park
In Recovery
💚
Famed park, mountain hike a plenty, and polo field local, Will Rogers has been one of the most well-renowned and loved green-space on the westside, beloved by the entirety of the city. Changed drastically by the 2025 Palisades Fire, the park is in a faze of recovery, re-growth, and rehabilitation, but opened back up to the public at the end of last year. Visit to be reminded of the resilience of nature!
