In Los Angeles, we live outdoors. We can’t get enough of this active lifestyle. So whether you want to play the game, or just watch it, LA’s bound to have the right sport for you.

BASEBALL
Go Dodgers!  Sorry for the outburst, but we get a little excited about our team here.  We’ve got serious pride for the 2009 National League West Division Champions.  A day (or night) at Dodger Stadium is practically unbeatable.  Here’s your new mantra: Think Blue.  And American League fans, not to worry – we’ve got the 2009 American League West Division Champion Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim too.  Cruise on down to Angel Stadium of Anaheim.  1000 Elysian Park Avenue, Los Angeles.  866-DODGERS.  dodgers.com; 2000 Gene Autry Way, Anaheim.  714-663-9000.  angelsbaseball.com.

BASKETBALL
When it comes to staying indoors, we’ll make an exception for NBA Champions the LA Lakers.  And the LA Sparks.  And the LA Clippers.  Okay.  We’ve got a basketball addiction.  Can you blame us?  Check out all the action at STAPLES Center.  1111 S. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles.  213-742-7340.  lakers.com. lasparks.com.  clippers.com. 

BOWLING

FOOTBALL
Yes we even have a few football teams.  Show your adopted LA pride for champions USC Trojans at the Coliseum.  Or maybe you want to root for the UCLA Bruins?  They play in the largest stadium in SoCal, the Rose Bowl.  Check out a game or two.  3939 S.

HIKING
You might be in the concrete jungle, but that doesn’t mean the real wilderness is far away.  Whether it’s a light jog in West Hollywood’s Runyon Canyon or an epic mountain trek in the Angeles National Forest, you’ll find LA’s got the perfect hike catered to your ability level.  323-666-5046.  runyon-canyon.com.  angeles.sierraclub.org.
