California Parks
Torrance, CA Travel, Photos Information and News
Torrance has an abundance of recreational and cultural opportunities. Though tourists often miss the hidden beach gem, Torrance Beach, this 1.5 miles of sand offers one of the most scenic escapes in the South Bay of Los Angeles County.
Parks are simply amazing in Torrance, as you'll discover by heading for them on a weekend when families hold picnics, birthday parties and BBQs in the city's parks with grills, picnic tables and facilities.
There are 40 parks and recreational facilities in Torrance. Several of the most notable are the 44-acre Wilson Park, which includes a miniature train ride and an historic car from the Pacific Electric Railroad.
Larger than that park, however, is the 52-acre Columbia Park which includes community gardens.
Madrona Marsh Preserve, golf course, swimming pool, gym, tennis courts. Cultural facilities including the James Armstrong and Stage Two theatres, Japanese Garden and Joslyn Center.
Torrance Parks are normally open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. unless otherwise mentioned, and hours are subject to change of the city's regulations.
