Easton-Rancho Park Archery Range — Attraction in Los Angeles

I’ve heard that Easton-Rancho Park Archery Range is open for public use back in 2014, but have only started going there after taking a couple of private lessons at the Woodley Park Archery Range, in Van Nuys. We love how the range is tucked away, it’s kind of that “IYKYK” thing, you would have to do a map search for archery ranges near you or know someone that has been or heard of the place. The facility/range has been thoughtful in the design of the range, with multiple distances 25m, 28m, 30m, 50m, 18m and 10m, they all have roofs for shade and somewhat ample benches and some tables. The range is ran by volunteers, whom all are archers with different bow preferences and knowledge. The atmosphere for the most part is friendly. There are kids there from time to time. On Saturday mornings they are open to the public for classes and people interested to learn archery, but the class fills quick so sign up on-line ahead of time. I heard they also do the open class on the 2nd Sunday of the month. Again sign up before showing up, or show up anyway to check the place out. Hope to see...

Just started 5 months ago.

This is a great facility. A free outdoor archery range with shade in the middle of the city. How awesome is that. The programs aren't really fully functional for classes.

Otherwise if you're an intermediate+ archer, it's cool to check out. They have 4 ranges at different distance. The locals are very helpful when they are around.

The city needs to get the ball rolling on letting the passionate volunteers start offering classes and loaner gear out again. They never fully recovered since pandemic regarding what activities and experiences the volunteers can provide.

Apparently pre-pandemic it was a great packed community of archers with events and gathering happening regularly

Hard to believe that within 40 mins of downtown Los Angeles are 2 archery ranges that are open to the public provided you have your own equipment (Rancho + Woodley in Sherman Oaks). Both are excellent, both offer free beginner safety and shooting lessons and provide free gear! Rancho is newer and have better semi-indoor facilites whereas Woodley is more geared for outdoor practice at all distances upto 90m. Rancho stays open until 10pm, but opens later than Woodley (which opens at or about Sunrise). Both are excellent and I would pay to shoot at either but they are free! I just wish I had discovered archery earlier rather than spending so much time playing pool - a sure sign of a...
