With stellar views of the Verdugo Mountains, 3.9-acre Lewis MacAdams Riverfront Park provides access to the bike path along the nine-mile section of the 51-mile Los Angeles River known as the Glendale Narrows that has a natural “soft bottom,” instead of a concrete floor. This allows native river plants and animals to thrive as if the river were in its natural state. In favorable conditions during the summer months, park-goers can kayak the river in the Los Angeles River Recreation Zone using a put-in point just up the river from the park.
The park features picnic grounds, grassy areas, and nature-themed children's play equipment, restrooms, and a distinctive, open-air pavilion that can accommodate more than 200 people, a loop trail with 13 outdoor fitness equipment stations, and two outdoor classrooms. Plenty of parking is available, as well as electric vehicle charging stations.
Large paved parking lot. Electric charging stations available.
From Memorial Day through September each year, Kayaking is allowed in the Los Angeles River Recreation Zone which is easily accessed from the park. For more information visit the LA River Recreation Zone website.
