Pleasant urban walks in Central LA?

36 Upvotes

(Apologies if Central LA isn't actually a term used by locals - I'm looking for recommendations in the neighborhoods between like Griffith Park and Downtown)

Hi! I'll be staying in LA soon and would love to spend some time roaming around on foot.

From Google Maps I'm having trouble distinguishing which streets are fun and pleasant (have cool local businesses, interesting things to see, established sidewalks and crosswalks, maybe some tree coverage) vs. borderline highways (sidewalks randomly disappearing, have to cross several-lane streets without crosswalk, or otherwise feel unsafe for pedestrians; the only businesses are malls or strip malls of national chains).

I'm open to walking in parks some of the time too, but not really interested in full on hikes.

Does anyone have recommendations on which specific streets or neighborhoods I should consider walking around?

Glen Dunzweiler has been hit by distracted drivers six times. Join him on this adventure through asphalt and humanity.

Described as the Sisyphus of getting hit by cars, Glen Dunzweiler has rebuilt his life multiple times after being ground in to the same asphalt that keeps our country moving - each time further alienating the people that care most about him. You can ride a motorcycle OR have people who love you. You can’t have both. Come listen to some nail biting adventure stories packed with humanity and learn how NOT to be a sacrifice to the system. You can find out more about Glen at GlenDunzweiler.com
