This park is a small nice park that recently opened in 2025 nestled in a canyon. The hikes here are quite nice, like the Waterfall Trail or the Bill Cull to Cunningham Overlook one as they provide pretty nice views. The water is nice and flowing here all year and the park has variable fees based on the day you visit.

Recommend to buy an annual pass.
Few trails and I enjoy the ones leading to the small waterfall.
More trees 🌲 growing out since Covid.
A little hard to find parking in weekends so be there early morning or afternoon.
Will run into bear 🐻, and don’t run! They rather not to bother you.
The trail full of small gravels so recommend you to wear hiking shoes otherwise a little slippery go uphill or down hill.
What I love about the trail is well maintained and most of the trails are shaded by trees.
If you are senior citizens, please bring your hiking shoes and hiking poles for safety reasons. Some uphills or downhills areas need to walk slowly with caution; the trail is slippery not much traction coz full of tiny rocks/gravels.
Close to waterfalls you will encounter few Ricky area and most of journey is peaceful and easy hike.
Park near ticket booth, or there are two more parks when drive up and restrooms available near the parking lot.

I’m an avid hiker and I can confidently say that this has been one of the most beautiful hikes in my life. I visited on a calm Monday morning and felt like I was hiking in my own private garden. It will not be an exaggeration to say that this place resembles the garden of Eden. Parking is five dollars and there are plenty of parking spots inside the park. As expected this park is very similar to Eaton canyon with its water features and slight inclines, but the difference here is that there is no graffiti anywhere. This place looks like unexplored land that has been nicely maintained by the city of Monrovia.

This was my first time in California. Such a beautiful state. Work brought me out here, more specifically Monrovia. I visited Monrovia Canyon Park on my first day here and so glad I did. Such an incredibly beautiful place! Trails are not too difficult to hike, but can be strenuous for those who are not physically active.

A beautiful park with a nice easy hike to the waterfall. $6 per car if driving in. It does have bears in the park and some hikers spotted one near the hiking trail on the day of our visit. Nature well preserved in the park.
