WHAT is Franklin Canyon Fitness Camp?
Franklin Canyon Fitness Camp is an outdoor fitness camp for people to exercise in a group fitness environment while enjoying the beautiful outdoors of Franklin Canyon Park. Walking, jogging, running, jumping and calisthenics will be employed to challenge and improve all participants' physical condition. All are welcome. All who attend will be challenged and will benefit. We guarantee it! Every participant may work at their own skill level. Proper attire is athletic wear and athletic shoes/sneakers. Bring water/sport drink, a snack, a mat, if you don't want to lay down on the grass, and a positive work ethic.
WHERE is Franklin Canyon Fitness Camp?
FROM the SOUTH
Franklin Canyon Fitness Camp is held in the south end of Franklin Canyon Park (Beverly Hills), by the Franklin Canyon Ranch picnic site. If entering the park from the south end, proceed through the gate and up the hill into the park approximately 1/2 mile. (The road is narrow and curvy, so take it easy.) After a few curves, proceed down the hill to the STOP sign. Take a sharp right on to Lake Drive and go all the way down the road -- slightly more than 1/2 mile. There is a true pull-in parking lot, with 2 entrances, on your left. The grass field at the south end of the parking lot is where you may sign-in for camp, right near the amphitheater benches. (There is a building with the address 1936 Lake Drive when looking at the field.)
Getting to the south entrance of Franklin Canyon Park can be accomplished by going north on Rexford Drive or Beverly Drive. (Rexford Drive and Beverly Drive join, becoming Beverly Drive and then split into Beverly Drive (to the left) and Coldwater Canyon (to the right). There is a traffic light, a kiddy park and a fire station where Beverly Drive and Coldwater Canyon split.)
At the traffic light: go LEFT on to Beverly Drive
Follow Beverly Drive through the residential area until you get to Franklin Canyon Drive. GO RIGHT and follow Franklin Canyon Drive straight into the park.
FROM the NORTH
Head into the park via Franklin Canyon Drive (at the light where Mulholland West meets Coldwater Canyon -- by Tree People park). Follow the road past the upper reservoir, by the little house and go to the stop sign. Go RIGHT.
Go down the hill and take the first LEFT on to Lake Drive. Look for the parking lot slightly more than 1/2 mile down Lake Drive, almost at the end of Lake Drive. The address of the building on Lake Drive is 1936 Lake Drive. Sign-in is on the grass field where the amphitheater benches are.
