Monte Verde Park features the S. Mark Taper Foundation Vista Lodge, a nature trail and an amphitheater on the west side of the San Gabriel River.
The 3,000-square-foot Vista Lodge is a reinterpretation of a classic mountain lodge, with exposed beams, a great room with a fireplace and a wall of windows overlooking the park and covered patio.
The park also includes a landscaped amphitheater, fire ring and a quarter-mile nature trail that loops around the perimeter of the park. The trail features elements of the native California landscape, including an oak grove, dry creek and fern dell.
Monte Verde Park offers outdoor experiences, nature education and camping opportunities in a city setting.
