Rio de Los Angeles State Park

The 247-acre park spans restored wetlands with native plants, sports fields, children's playgrounds, and recreation buildings along the Los Angeles River.

The site was formerly Taylor Yard, a freight-switching facility operated by Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads from the 1920s until 1985.

The park hosts community programs focused on environmental education, connecting urban residents with nature through organized activities and interpretive exhibits.

Multiple trails accommodate walking, jogging, and cycling activities, while designated picnic areas provide spaces for family gatherings throughout the park grounds.

The park supports more than 150 bird species and houses a diverse ecosystem where native wildlife thrives within the urban environment of Los Angeles.
