Nature/Outside Workouts
A few tidbits about a great park on the block.
This is a great park for an 'anytime' run or walk. In addition to the playground - whose equipment I use to enhance my workouts (using the swing is Great for abs!), there is a Par Course on the Washington Blvd. side. I actually did a 10 minute 'closed eyes' meditation on a bench one Spring morning!

Food scene
I admit it: I love my micro brews! But this place also serves as the neighborhood meeting place. In addition to the hardy hello by the bartender, the locals skoot over to make room for newcomers at the bar; there are board games, a pool table and a patio. There is a community board with other local information if you're in the mood to explore. O yes - and the food is quite tasty with several veg/an offerings. Its about two blocks from Carroll park.

Fitness
Of all the LA Fitness gyms in the city, this is one of my favorite. It has dedicated yoga, spin and aerobics rooms and plenty of private spaces to workout. There are two racquetball courts. The pool, sauna and Jacuzzi are divine after a workout. A free visitors pass is always available after a brief tour of the facility.
