    This is my favorite part in LA. It really is a shame that LA doesn't have many parks and one in Hollywood that has been closed down for over 10 years. San Francisco and Diego have beautiful parks.. Golden Gate was created by the same guy that created Central Park so it really bothers me that LA is lacking big time But then again.. Look at McArthur.. Beautiful park that has been totally destroyed for decades. So pathetic Los Angeles

    Beautifully restored house on property. Staffed by volunteers. Park is a small (~2 acre) green space at the to of the hill, with most views looking north and west. Usually busy but not overrun. Great place for late afternoon picnic. Parking is limited but free.

    I love this spot. It is poorly kept up but has an incredible view of the hills and city. It also has a great Frank Lloyd Wright home, but as I said, is poorly kept up. Many homeless in the area as well degrade this beautiful spot. LA can do better for these people and this park.

    A beautiful place on a beautiful afternoon. It deserves better upkeep - cleaning and maintenance. But, still a jewel in LA.

    Tiny little park but great place to walk around! They also offer various art classes (ceramics comes to mind), which require sign ups at certain times of the year. There's also a little gallery and such.

    For a park in the heart of urbania, this is an amazingly quiet, peaceful little plot of land, mostly because people living a block away don't know it's here. I never discovered it until 10 years after moving to the neighborhood--and we shop at Jon's--sharing the same block--all the time.

    Eclectics love to hang here, along with a nice mix of homeless, artist vagabonds and general freaks, intermixed with a minority of normal, everyday type folks. Definitely a good place to people watch--and a must for sunsets on smoggy or cloudy days: one of the best views in Midtown that you'll find.

    Oh, and there's a museum (free, and worth it) and the recently reopened Hollyhock House, so it has that going for it.

    When I want to picnic in a park, I'll often choose Barnsdall Art Park for the hill of grass at the front because this hill overlooks all the unique neighborhoods and structures towards the east end of the Hollywood strip. I always love views from foothill areas, and this is one of the few good ones that the central area offers. The elevated hilltop experience mutes much of the traffic and city noise while offering a view that's front and center to an attractive corner of the Hollywood and Los Feliz area. The proximity to the hospitals and grocery store make this a fitting location to grab some snacks and slip out of the stress down below for a while. There's usually some other pleasant gatherings there enjoying a relaxing escape.

    Great picnic spot that is somehow still flying under the radar. And it has parking! The lot at the base of the hill is an option if you don't mind walking up the stairs, but you can also find spaces if you drive up.

    Like it. It's almost hidden. Locals chill here. It's nice. Always leave here feeling "inspired".

    Beautiful place. You get the wind and sometimes the fog blowing in. Depending what path you take, it is either a vigorous hike or a nice smooth uphill hike. The views are worth it as well as the giant cross on top of the hill. it's partially hidden behind the trees.

    Great view. Extremely peaceful place for me. I always enjoy visiting. Nice grey a way without actually being away.

    The highlight of the park is Frank Lloyd Wright Hollyhock House and the view of Hollywood, Griffith Observatory and Hollywood sign. There is admission fee to Hollyhock, but limitations on how much you may see due to Americans With Disabilities Act; there is no photography inside and fence around house. What you can see of the house are fine examples of architecture, furniture and design. The docents are very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Hollyhock. The museum has rotating exhibit of artists who have been awarded City of Los Angeles (COLA) Artist Fellowships and reading room. Check website for details about current exhibit. Additionally the Junior Arts Center holds classes for students to explore their artistic sides; there are also events held in the theatre. Ample parking. I enjoyed the Hollyhock House most.
