A Look Back at Fox Hills
Fox Hills officially became part of Culver City in 1964. Before that, it wasn't a busy neighborhood like it is today. Instead, it was mostly open land with places for horse riding and even golf courses!
In the 1970s, Fox Hills started to change a lot. New buildings like apartments and condominiums were built. A big indoor shopping center called the Fox Hills Mall also opened its doors in 1975. This brought many new shops and places for people to visit.
Fun at Fox Hills Park
One of the best spots in the Fox Hills neighborhood is Fox Hills Park. You can find it where Green Valley Circle and Buckingham Parkway meet. This park is quite large, covering ten acres, which is about the size of ten football fields!
The park has lots of cool things to do:
- A fun playground for younger kids.
- A basketball court for shooting hoops.
- A big soccer field for games.
- Tennis courts for playing tennis.
- A jogging trail if you like to run or walk.
- Picnic areas and barbecues for outdoor meals with family and friends.
- Restroom facilities for convenience.
Schools in Fox Hills
