OUR TAKE ON WHITTIER
Located around 12 miles southeast from Los Angeles City, Whittier is a great family vacation destination because of its vast campgrounds and expansive greeneries. With a population of just 87,000, this 14.8 square mile city managed to retain its small town appeal while being progressive at the same time. There are approximately one dozen Whittier accommodations you can choose from depending on your budget. But probably the most notable features in Whittier can be found in its parks. There are more than a dozen of them including the Anaconda Park, Broadway Park, Central Park, Greenway Trail, the Hellman Park, Guirado Park, and J.G. Whittier Park among others.
The Anaconda Park offers basic features such as picnic tables, court basketballs, and play equipment for the campers. Meanwhile, the Broadway Park has tennis courts and horseshoe pit in addition to the basic camp recreational facilities. If you want to experience more than just the basic on Whittier vacations, go to the Greenway Trail. The Greenway Trail has a five mile trail which can be used for walking or cycling; this expansive area is developed to have an easement along city limits so that pedestrians and cyclers can pass through the town.
