Griffith Park - the Central Park of Los Angeles

Griffith Park

Griffith Park, spanning more than 4,200 acres of mountains and canyons, is the largest municipal park in Los Angeles in the heart of an enormous urban area and wealth of culture.

One of the best places to see the Hollywood Sign is at Griffith Park. Choose from more than 50 miles of trails lacing the chaparral-studded slopes, including one to the top of 1,625-foot Mount Hollywood, the park’s highest point. Unpaved roads also provide access for mountain bikers and trail rides. Guided rides out of Sunset Ranch include great views of the Hollywood sign.

Leading musicians love to play at the open-air Greek Theatre. High on a slope overlooking Los Angeles, the landmark Art Deco-era Griffith Observatory gives you a window to the cosmos. Take one look out from the iconic Griffith Observatory and enjoy vies from the L.A. Basin as it stretches out to the ocean.

Visit the entrance to the Batcave in the 1960s Batman television series located in the Bronson Canyon Caves section of Griffith Park.

The 1926 carousel at Griffith Park is credited with inspiring Walt Disney to dream up the carousel at Disneyland.
