Editorial Overview

About Griffith Park

Griffith Park is a large municipal park at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains, stretching from Los Feliz to the San Fernando Valley. It has been officially characterized as an "urban wilderness" and is much larger, less tamed, and more rugged than Central Park or Golden Gate Park. Visitors can explore major attractions like the Los Angeles Zoo, the Autry Museum of the American West, Griffith Observatory, and the Hollywood Sign. The park's cinematic fame makes it one of the most recognized municipal parks in North America, offering a unique blend of nature and culture.
