Griffith Park

Recommended by Rebecca

in response to Amy

I’m seeing a concert at the Hollywood Bowl with 2 friends. My first time at the venue and first weekend away from my daughter (who is 5)! Where should we stay, eat, spa, and see art/nature? I want to have a way too ambitious list. 🤪

It’s the largest municipal park with an urban wilderness area in the United States. Lots of great hiking & wildlife, The LA Zoo & Autry Museum of Western Heritage, and bumps up against Burbank, Hollywood, and Los Feliz, so a scenic alternative to freeways when you’re traveling between those areas.

“I have a lot to say. First: I hate Runyon Canyon. Desperate for free third space? Griffith Park. Haven’t touched grass this week? Griffith Park. Have an idea for a big gathering but not the space? Griffith Park. I love Griffith park. had my 25th bday party there. I’ve walked basically 70% of the trails over two years but still somehow find Mario-Kart esque secret new paths every time I go. PRO TIP”
