Looking for things to do around Inglewood? Whether you’re hosting visitors or just planning your next weekend, our city has a wealth of parks, historic spots, artsy corners, and iconic attractions. I’m Amelia Lopez, and here’s your go-to guide for enjoying the best Inglewood has to offer.
Parks, Green Spaces & Outdoor Fun
Edward Vincent Jr. Park
One of the city’s largest community parks, offering playgrounds, multiple sports courts and fields, walking paths, fitness equipment, and picnic areas. It’s a great spot for family outings or Sunday morning jogs.
Grevillea Art Park
This smaller park in downtown Inglewood combines art and relaxation. Wander among public murals, enjoy peace and greenery without leaving the city core.
Darby Park & Siminski Park
Both offer playgrounds and courts that are perfect for kids and adults alike. Siminski is quiet and local, while Darby adds gym facilities, racquetball courts, and options for community gatherings.
Historic and Cultural Landmarks
Centinela Adobe Complex
Step back to the 19th century at this preserved adobe and Victorian-style buildings. The adobe is one of the oldest structures around and fosters a connection to Inglewood’s early history.
Randy’s Donuts
Iconic and playful. The giant rooftop donut is a favorite photo stop, and the shop’s buttermilk donuts and apple fritters are consistently crowd-pleasers.
The Forum & Intuit Dome
For concerts, sporting events, or simply appreciating architecture, these stages anchor Inglewood’s entertainment scene. Even without tickets, it’s rewarding to walk around and soak in the electric atmosphere that the venues and surrounding plaza offer.
Arts & Walking Tours
Inglewood Arts & Culture Walking Tours
The city offers mapped tours highlighting public art, historic architecture, and cultural landmarks. Choose from themed routes like the WPA period, entertainment district, or civic center.
