Hellman Park
There are many miles of hiking trails in the Puente Hills, including the Skyline Trail, the Sycamore Canyon Trail, and the Worsham Canyon trail. These can be accessed from Turnball Canyon Road at Skyline or Beverly Hills Drive, Greenleaf Avenue at Rose, Workman Mill at Strong and Grande Vista Drive, though each of these access points has little or no parking. If hiking in the daytime during the summer or a heat wave, pack plenty of water
The parade scene in the final episode of The Wonder Years was filmed at the corner of Greenleaf Avenue and Philadelphia Street. Kevin (Fred Savage) is standing under the awning of the former Rocky Cola Cafe. He crosses Philadelphia to meet Paul (Josh Saviano) as a parade goes by. Parades actually do go down Greenleaf, but they're usually Christmas parades.
