This urban park is well-maintained, with several walking trails, benches, drinking fountains, and plenty of green space. It's a great place to picnic, hike, or trek down the hill to enjoy the Kern River. There are spectacular views of the city, mountains, and oilfields, especially on a clear day.

This is a fantastic extension of the park with a wide flat path along the steep cliffside. With oil rigs and ranches as its backdrop, there are plenty of benches to sit, relax, and take in the scenery. Here, you can enjoy the views of the oilfields contrasting with the lush Panorama Vista Preserve next to them, which is used as a wildlife rehabilitation area.

Hart Memorial Park is a great place to relax. You can take a hike, rent a kayak and paddle on the Hart Lake or just enjoy a picnic. There are peacocks roaming the area, too. The park was named after County Supervisor John Hart who initiated the construction of the park in 1921.

The Hart Park Trail leads through the southern, more hilly part of Hart Park. You will gain some elevation, but this means a great view over the lake and the landscape all around you. The park was named after County Supervisor John Hart who spearheaded the building of the park itself.
