Hollywood Peak

Park

👍👍 Hollywood Peak is a fantastic hike and a great spot to view Los Angeles and surrounding area. The hike is not too challenging, although there are few people making some rest spots. Wear comfortable hiking footwear with some treads. Folks with normal sneakers where slipping and sliding a little....

Royce Canyon

Park

👍👍 One of the most hidden and secluded spots in Griffith Park. This canyon was saved by activist Royce Neuschatz from being turned into a landfill like nearby Toyon Canyon. Thanks to her efforts this canyon was saved. It’s rather easy to reach, just follow up Mt. Hollywood Drive. The road is usually ra...

Park

👍👍 Unbelievable...... I will say this over and over again. Mo matter how long you have lived in LA, places like these continue to surprise!!!!! Spectacular park with red ear sliders in the pond.

Shapiro Fountain

Park

👍👍 This is a beautiful fountain where students often go to relax or take pictures. It is right in the middle of Powell library and Royce Hall. It can be a little loud when you are right next to it but otherwise, you can hardly notice the sound of the water.

Coastal View Park at One Westbluff

Park

👍 I like this place in Playa Delrey, CA. It’s very calm and a small park in between the residential area and from here you can have a nice view of Los Angels. If you want to relax yourself alone , then this is the correct place to go.
