Griffith Park - Los Angeles, CA - American Guide Series on Waymarking.com

Taken from Wikipedia, "Griffith Park is a large municipal park at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains, in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. The park covers 4,310 acres (1,740 ha) of land, making it one of the largest urban parks in North America. It is the second-largest city park in California, after Mission Trails Preserve in San Diego, and the 11th largest municipally owned park in the United States. It has also been referred to as the Central Park of Los Angeles but is much larger, more untamed, and rugged than its New York City counterpart."

"Griffith Park (open 6 a.m.-8 p.m., daily: Vermont canyon section open 6 a.m.-11 p.m.: free), into which Vermont Avenue passes at a point of several blocks north of it intersection with Los Feliz Boulevard, is a 3,761-acre tract spreading over five square miles in the eastern half of the mountains that lie north of Hollywood and Los Angeles. It's 30 miles of winding, paved drives lead to hight from which sweeping, town covered expanses of surrounding country are visible: 50 miles of hiking and bridle trails explore spots still more remote. Picnic grounds (tables, stoves: free) and children's playgrounds are scattered through that lower edges of the park, in canyon mouths and level roadside areas."
