Referred to as the Central Park of Los Angeles, Griffith Park is one of the largest urban parks in North America with 4,000+ acres on the end of the Santa Monica Mountains. Within it are lush hidden gardens, views of the whole city below & some of the best hiking trails around. There is something for everyone in Griffith Park & no trip to LA is complete without a visit.
Opened in 1912 with a total of 15 animals & then closed in 1966 to make way for the New LA Zoo a couple minutes nearby. The Old LA Zoo is now a hiking & picnic area with some beautiful views below it. Just don't go at night, it's rumored to be haunted!
