Ballona Creek bicycle path
- Ballona Creek bicycle path
The Ballona Creek bicycle path is a six mile stretch of Class 1 bicycle path in Los Angeles that parallels Ballona Creek for most of its length. It starts at National Boulevard in Culver City, passes through Del Rey and Playa Vista, and ending joining The Strand in Marina del Rey. The path passes by the Baldwin Hills and the Ballona Wetlands, and on clear days a view of the Santa Monica Mountains is visible. Especially near the wetlands, riders can view many varieties of wild birds all along the path. The path is flat for its entire length, except at the underpasses.
Just east of Inglewood the path passes the Mar Vista Gardens housing development, home to the Culver City Boyz gang.
Renovation planned
As of summer 2007, the City of Culver City was planning a major renovation of the areas of Ballona Creek bicycle path adjacent to the Culver City Julian Dixon Library & Culver City Middle School.
