LA Sports

Anja Gardner

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 2006 National League Wild Card Winners.  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 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim too.  Cruise on down to Angel Stadium of Anaheim.  1000 Elysian Park Avenue, Los Angeles.  866-DODGERS.  www.dodgers.com; 2000 Gene Autry Way, Anaheim.  714-663-9000.  www.angelsbaseball.com.

BASKETBALL
When it comes to staying indoors, we’ll make an exception for 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.  www.lakers.com. www.lasparks.comwww.clippers.com. 

BOWLING
In LA, we like our bowling alleys as much as we like our movie stars.  And when the two come together, it gets even better.  Bowl like Lebowski (and maybe with Lebowski?) at Lucky Strike Lanes in Hollywood.  6801 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood.  www.bowlluckystrike.com.

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. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles.  213-740-GOSC.
  usctrojans.cstv.com; 1001 Rose Bowl Drive, Pasadena.  626-577-3100.  www.rosebowlstadium.com.

GOLF
Sunshine equals good golf.  Period.  The tough part is choosing where to play.  Cheap: Arroyo Seco Golf Course.  Cheaper: Van Nuys Golf Course.  Cheapest: Los Feliz Golf Course.  1055 Lohman Lane.  323-255-1506; 6550 Odessa Avenue.  818-785-3685; 3207 Los Feliz Blvd.  323-663-7758.  www.losangeles.com/golf.

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.  www.runyon-canyon.comwww.angeles.sierraclub.org.

HOCKEY
LA’s quite the sports mecca.  From surfing to ice hockey, you’ll find it all.  Catch an LA Kings match at STAPLES Center.  1111 S. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles.  213-742-7340.  www.lakings.com.

SKATING
This is SoCal, so you did expect skateboarding, right?  Carve your way over to Pedlow Field Skate Park.  We wanna see your kickflip nose manual.  17334 Victory Blvd., Van Nuys.  818-266-6991.

SOCCER
We’re bringing the stars to American soccer.  Like the newest member of the LA Galaxy: David Beckham.  Check ‘em out at Home Depot Center.  18400 Avalon Blvd., Carson.  310-630-2200.  www.lagalaxy.com.
