@dtla.budget.trave: Tucked away in Cypress Park, the Los Angeles River Center and Gardens is a breathtaking 5-acre Spanish-style oasis. • The Wild History: Long before it was an eco-hub, this mission-revival complex opened in 1953 as the iconic Lawry’s California Center—the corporate headquarters, packing plant, and outdoor restaurant for Lawry’s seasoned salt! It was completely reborn in 2000 as a center for river restoration. • The Bike Trail Access: Want to hit the trail? The center features a dedicated Bicycle Staging Area equipped with a repair station, tire pump, and drinking fountain. To connect directly to the main Los Angeles River Bike Path, just exit the gardens onto Avenue 26, turn right on Figueroa St., and curve right onto Riverside Drive to hop right on! Drop a ❤️ if you’re adding this hidden gem to your weekend plans! HASHTAGS: #LARiver #HiddenGemLA #LosAngelesTravel #free #BikeLA
