Hopkins Wilderness Park
Formerly known as the hilltop, the Hopkins Wilderness Park was founded in 1977, and it was previously used as a lookout site by the native Chowigna tribes. Nowadays, the Hopkins Wilderness Park has been ‘restored’ into a wooded pocket park with over 10 acres of trails, beautiful ponds, and perfect habitat for native plants and species to abound. Unfortunately, Hopkins Wilderness Park is still recovering from the fire incident, so other aspects and areas of the park still need revitalization.
Since 2017, there has been an effort to conserve and enhance the park as it is a vital resource for the Redondo Beach community. From native plant workshops, community cleanup projects, and “rewilding” a big part of the park, the work continues to reintroduce native plants and connect the wildlife habitats in the south bay.
Hopkins Wilderness park is an old standard in Redondo Beach. This park has been around for quite a long time, and visitors feel as though they have left the city once they make it into the center of this iconic place. Hopkins Wilderness Park offers a unique chance ad way to escape city life, if only for a short time. It has neat walking paths and a beautiful pond with waterfowl to enjoy. This park is excellent and fun for visitors of all ages.
