Enjoyed break from shops and freeways by taking quick hike to Inspiration Point to look out over City and Pacific coast, caught a glimpse of Beverly Hills Polo exhibition

We had never been to this park in the Santa Monica area until this visit. The drive up to the park is like following a wiggled rope. It makes one aware why LA is lucky to never have snow. Parking is $12 at the top. Some people park further down the hill to save cash. The money from parking helps... More

While it is a little pricey to park ( so plan on staying for a few hours) it is a huge beautiful park. On Sundays you can watch Polo matches..so much fun.

I've been to this park several times over the last 10 years. It has a good amount of walking trails that wind up, down, and around the rolling hills above the neighborhoods of Pacific Palisades and Brentwood. There's not a great deal of vegetation because of the almost desert-like climate, but that's mainly a good thing because it means there... More

I went to this park in order to hike the two-mile Inspiration Trail that was supposed to have a wonderful panoramic view of the Pacific Palisades area, and it certainly does have a great view! I enjoyed the hike and a group of horseback riders passed me on the trail going in the other direction. The trail is also open... More

This used to be Will Rogers' house and ranch. When I saw it many years ago, I expected it to be a tacky, wildly lavish movie star's palatial estate but it wasn't at all. When I saw his living room, it looked like a really friendly place--the kind of place where you could sit on the couch, take your shoes... More

Parking fee paid on entrance to park. As you enter you see the polo field which is very well maintained and used (we were told) every weekend. There is a small gift shop and theatre featuring Will to view before taking the house tour. The home is vintage 20's - 30's and gives you a wonderful glimpse into the short... More

Good small trail park. It is a simple and moderate close to 3 miles loop. Great look up point at Inspiration Point. Family friendly park but with a parking fee.

Although I was aware of Will Rogers, I hadn't really appreciated his importance in early 20th century American popular culture until visiting this park which preserves much of his former ranch and belongings. We arrived on a Tuesday morning and it was very quiet. Threatening signs said we had to pay $12 to park or else, but there weren't staff... More
