Ladera Linda Park — Attraction in Rancho Palos Verdes

Nice place to park in the paved lot and play basketball, tennis or field sports as with soccer, hike thru the Forrestal Preserve, take in the views, and watch the sunsets! The small pebble road beside the school leads to a pebble parking lot, where the tennis courts and kids playground is located. There’s trash containers available throughout the park area and restrooms available at the building next to the School. When leaving vehicles to venture off, it’s best to check the signs and plan to vacate the lot prior to the gate...

Nice park with plenty of green fields to play soccer on. We practiced throwing around some disc golf when the fields were not in use. Gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean, and you can see Catalina Island on a clear day. Saw a hawk flying over the bluffs and coming to rest in a tree at the park. There are also plenty of hiking trails around if you want to go up for more views...

The trails are beautiful and quiet but you need to bring a stick or some weapon to defend yourself from the dogs. Although it's against the park rules, most owners walk their dogs without leash and some are big and aggressive. Today a big white dog jumped on top of me, and the owners didn't even apologize, they laughed it off and carried on walking the dog...
