Welcome to Willow Springs Park! Willow Springs Park is a native restoration project. The park hosts free community events and educational workshops, and is home to a diversity of native species. It is a peaceful place for community members to connect with nature in an urban setting. Strolling through Willow Springs Park, you'll witness an incredible revival of a once highly degraded, native ecosystem.
Willow Springs Park features three loop trails, and the highest accessible peak in Long Beach, Longview Point, with stunning views of Downtown Long Beach and the Palos Verdes hills. The entrance and parking lot to Willow Springs Park is on Orange Avenue. The closest loop to the parking lot is Longview Point (about 0.17 miles). This is a moderately accessible trail surrounded by Long Beach native plants and a walk through of the Longview Map Plaza. There is also another less developed loop trail (about 0.38 miles) that runs along the ridge of the hill offering better views of Long Beach and the rest of the park. For those who love a challenge, the outermost loop trail at Willow Springs Park (approximately 0.8 miles) takes you through most of the park. This loop features many informational signs at the park and passes by Farm Lot 59, the Long Beach Office of Sustainability Yard, a bioswale and artesian spring, water detention basin, and a Tongva mural painted in the ruins of the park. This trail has steep declines and inclines that may be difficult for some people.
