Baldwin Hills Conservancy

Description

The two plus square miles of the Baldwin Hills is the last undeveloped open space in the Los Angeles urban area. The landscape has been a resource for oil and gas production since 1924. The goals and objectives of the park include acquiring oil fields; restoring natural landscapes; creating recreation- based economic development; protecting unique scenic vistas; developing a comprehensive trail system; connecting to Ballona Creek; providing job and education opportunities; developing active recreation sites; providing community gathering areas; and developing parkland. A conservancy is leading the effort to create the Baldwin Hills Park in partnership with federal, state, and local elected officials, public agencies, and members of the community.
