If you’re not familiar with my virtual walking maps and the walk area covered, they’re located here on the Walk My World side button. They reflect the actual 2-3 mile walk that I’ve taken complete with pictures, sights to see, shops to visit, or a great restaurant along the way.

Today’s walk in Barnsdall Art Park is a bit different in only one aspect–it’s an exercise walk. The walk itself is a little under ½ a mile, but after 30 minutes, along with having a good workout, you’ll be able to enjoy Barnsdall Park’s unprecedented Public Art, views of Los Angeles, and a sense of tranquility unlike any other location in a city the size of Los Angeles.

Including its 160 steps, and a gentle incline and upslope of its grassy and hilly ups and downs, the Barnsdall Art Park Walk will get your heart pumping while you’re nestled, literally, above the city.

Here’s a couple of the sights you’ll enjoy on your Exercise Walk at Barnsdall Art Park:

Across the street, the Kids Dental Kare building mural is playful, colorful, has a happy message and creates a sense of neighborhood. The colors were fun on both the building and the wall in the foreground.
