📍 Address: Secret Swing Angels Point, Los Angeles, CA 90031
How to take a good look at la la land, there is a niche Internet celebrity swing, at the top of the Elysian Park in downtown LA, in addition to the high-rise Los Angeles and the interstate highway can be seen, or at dusk to shoot a large film excellent vantage!
You can park your car at the intersection of angels point rd and park row dr, and you can see a clear climb up the dirt road, 3 or 5 minutes to the top you can see the swing.
Recently want to let Bambi more to scatter the wind and exercise, living near dt can go to Elysian Park Trail, the whole section can be completed in half an hour, the scenery is a little beautiful, small dogs will not be too tired! Met a lot of dogs!
The mountain scenery is good, but to go to the legendary secret swing, you need to climb a sandy road, the ground is fine sand, very slippery; The road was steep (because it was not a proper road at all, it had been stepped on); When you go up the hill, the cliff is to your right. Even more terrible is down the mountain, the left is the cliff, stepping on the foot of the steep and slippery downhill, good fear.
This part of the road is really too dangerous, if you must go, be sure to wear non-slip shoes.
Besides, when I got there, the swing was torn down, and when I looked up, I could see the rope hanging from the tree. But even if it wasn't, I wouldn't dare sit on it, literally swinging on the edge of a cliff. It is said that from time to time the swing was removed and from time to time it was put back on. The swing is a matter of luck.
The swings are still strong, and they're maintained regularly, but they're still safe. Although I feel that climbing mountains is more dangerous than swinging......
📷Tips:
To find this Swing, just type "Secret Swing Angels Point" into Google Map and the navigation will take you to the bottom of the hill; It is recommended to Park at the intersection of Angels Point Drive and Park Row Drive in Elysian Park, where there are five or six parking Spaces. Park the car and walk up the earth slope, the mountain path is very steep but very short, about 5 minutes to walk to the top. Be sure to remember to wear a pair of strong shoes, do not wear high heels, or really may not be able to get down the mountain, because the mountain is very steep and slippery.
Net red swing is on the top of a tree, usually not many people, occasionally to queue up, good order; The swing will be repaired regularly, sometimes tied high and sometimes low, very safe, do not worry. But you should be careful when taking pictures, after all, the cliff is next to it, safety first.
Elysian Park also has a bridge that is easy to photograph, and is a treasure trove for Instagram celebrities to take pictures of Los Angeles skyscrapers and traffic.
General comment: Worth going to the photo attractions, although I did not look good, dress and weather for various reasons. The weather is really important !!!!
