Culver City Parks Task 8.1 Final Plan - Flipbook - Page 173
BLAIR HILLS PARK
5950 Wrightcrest Dr, Culver City, 90232
BLAIR HILLS PARK is a 1.8-acre neighborhood park
nestled in the Blair Hills neighborhood between
Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook State Park and
Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area. It is located
a block away from Stoneview Nature Center and
is just north of the Jim Webb Trail along the Park
to Playa Trail route but currently lacks a direct
connection to these networks. Blair Hills Park has
variable topography and includes notable elevation
differences between the park and the adjacent
streets. The park is lower by about 15 feet from
Wrightcrest Dr. to the west and approximately
elevated by three to four feet from Stoneview Dr.
to the east. This park has many eucalyptus trees
on the slope, Mexican fan palms at the entrance,
and ficus trees along Wrightcrest Dr. as well as a
lawn for passive or active recreation. The steep
slopes to the south and west are planted with ivy.
The park experiences drainage issues and backs
up to a steep slope. Evidence of extensive erosion
is evident on the slopes.
