This set of stairs near Dodger Stadium is Los Angeles is a great way to get a workout and stretch your legs. Unfortunately it is not dog-friendly. Keep in mind the best time to go here is during the week, so you can avoid crowds.

Be sure to bring extra water with you as it can get very hot!

In Echo Park, you'll find this hidden staircase that is good for a cardio workout. Oftentimes, you'll find other people working out on these steps, early in the morning or after work. To reward yourself, cross the street at the top, for an amazing view of Downtown LA.

Echo Park Lake
