I like how Southern California pave over natural rivers and then create artificial canals…well, it’s all about looking pretty right? Back in 1905, these canals were created to resemble the appearance of the world famous Venice, Italy. Now, you don’t need to travel such a long way because in Venice California, we also have canals, boats, and beautiful bridges too.
There are so many fun and free things to do in L.A., and this is definitely one of the best. Strolling around in this neighborhood on a sunny day is surprising a great way to spend an afternoon. Imagine walking around with your good friend and a cup of ice cold mango smoothie in your hand next to beautiful canals while admiring gorgeous homes that you can never purchase…ahhh what a life. Beside parks, this place is another great escape from the chaos of Los Angeles. Most of the streets are pedestrian only so noise pollution from car is not a problem at all.
Parking is a bit rough here because there’s only street parking with a lot of streets requiring permits. My friends and I cheated and parked at Island’s Burger nearby and walked two blocks to the canals.
thank you, very useful website here
