This is a little oasis, just off Sunset Blvd. (behind Kaiser). I remember years ago they had an art show of special, old patchwork quilts. Some were made for dolls. It was really cute. That was a special time that I shared with my mother️

II go up here frequently. During the week the park is quiet and the views are spectacular. Anna Barnsdall certainly knew where to place a house. This is where the hollyhock house is and this time of year there are a great deal of hollyhocks. The grounds are kept very nicely. There is of course the municipal art museum which is only open 3 days a week. And there is the adult and children art workshops where you can take classes. Besides the view to walk around the hollyhock house is really enjoyable. You can take self-guided tours as well as docent tours. I just like to walk around the exterior sometimes because its so gorgeous. Parking is free.The pix attached are all cell phone images.

Crazy fun for all ages! Even my 75-year mother enjoyed the slides. :) There was already cardboard at the slides so we didnt need to bring any. We went on a Friday and there were just a few smaller kids there who didnt stay long. There are two slides side by side so you can race. This was a fun time!/

I love that this exists in the city. Its like a completely different world when youre inside this park. The tall trees block out all the outside noise and provide a relaxing aroma while youre exploring the grounds. Perfect place to come and unwind, exercise, or take your dog on a long journey through the wooded trails. Be sure to check out the rose garden, its free, and my personal favorite.

A very beautiful, hidden spot right in the middle of everything. Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture is always breathtaking but the area surrounding his work highlights the beauty even more. And great city views!

One of the most beautiful places in Los Angeles. Home of Cal Academy of Sciences, Japanese Garden, Conservatory of Flowers, de Young, and more! Every major race runs through here (well, Bay to Breakers and Nike Womens Marathon).

This place is NOT a dog park; its a park you can take your dog to play off leash and thats as good as it gets. Surrounded by busy streets, tour buses and people everywhere, dogs must have excellent recall and voice control which makes this a great place for a family outing with Fido.

This park is so big, you need a few days just to explore the whole thing. Every time we go to Los Angeles, we explore a new area and were always amazed by it.

A must see! I was told to come at night, Im so glad we did! It wasnt too crowded and we were able to get great pics.

A huge park thats only good for locals hanging out like exercise, picnic, laying on the grass, painting and such in my opinion. For tourists its just too big to walk between places on weekdays, they do offer shuttle rides on weekends and major holidays though.

Sundays at Barnsdall are my kinda church. Views for days. Sunset 360. Hollywood sign, and the Griffith Observatory lookin like a modern day castle perched above our city. Its like vacationing in Europe for the day.Get there early and pay to check out the beautiful Hollyhock House by Frank Lloyd Wright. BYOB and cheese, clean up after yourselves, and be careful not to imbibe too much because I swear there is never a bathroom open or available up there!

I dont care if youre an adult - youre coming here if youre in SF. This small park is in the middle of a residential area. Looking at pictures of the slides, I thought there was going to be barely any momentum going down, but my goodness, this was the fastest slide Ive ever been on.

This is, without a doubt, my favorite park in the city. Sunsets are amazing and parking is free. So many things to like: great location, astonishing views of Hollywood sign and Observatory, and you even have a Frank Loyd house in there! There is also a venue in the back of the park where they throw concerts & art gatherings. Farmers Market during the weekends!

Wonderful LA gem with the gallery, theater, and Hollyhock House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Lots of free parking too off Hollywood Blvd at Lower Road. Drive up Lower Road first to see if you can find parking. If not you can circle back down and park in the lower lot. GH

Miracle Mile a beautiful neighborhood and more

Take the guided tour. Disappointed the whole property was not accessible. I went the day after a rain. Sights and smells abundant! Definitely worth a look if in the area.

Very nice and cozy park in the middle of Los Angeles right next to Kaiser Hospital on Vermont & Sunset. Good view to the city. A lots of leaning place for young and old. Car parking is available for free as well. Come on down and check this part out. You will not be disappointed.

Hollyhock house is worth a visit, especially for fans of Frank Lloyd Wright, who designed it. Volunteers are present to answer questions and make sure you dont touch anything. Visitors to the house must wear paper booties over their shoes to protect the floors. You can only enter a few of the rooms.

A wonderful clean place with the Holly Hock house as a wonderful backdrop. Art exhibition center all within easy walking distance from free parking.

My favorite place in CA. Go to Say Cheese cheese ship in Los Angeles and then have a picnic at the park! Every time I have visitors I take them here!

Great views. Nice lawn for picnic. Close to metro. 5/5 would gawk again.

The renovated hollyhock house was fantastic. They should be ashamed not allowing pictures of the interior. The only work by Wright that wont allow pictures as far as I know. Here in Barnsdall is also the contemporary museum of art. I have been there many times and I do not have words for how bad their exhibits are. I have never seen anything that did not suck in a major way.

Barnsdall Park is a great place to put out a towel and enjoy the sunshine. A little off the road so you are not bothered by the traffic below on Hollywood Boulevard. In addition, you can see the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Hollyhock House. Just recently named a World Heritage site, you get to see one of the most significant homes ever built in the USA.

Cool spot to hang out and see some art (when museum is open). Great place to take photos as well if you don’t mind the occasional onlooker. Beautiful views and close to good food spots all around

Tucked away on top of a hill, this place is remarkable and gorgeous on a sunny socal day. The museum is delightful and there is the original house you can your as well for a fee. Nice place to lay down a blanket and read.

Great place to go hang out and of museum is open is great.

Beautiful park centrally located to downtown and Hollywood with surprising panoramic views of the city! I highly recommend checking out the Hollyhock House; an architectural marvel!

Bit of a hidden gem in LA. Little park on a hill with views of the Hollywood sign and Griffith Observatory. Highly recommend taking a tour of the inside of the Hollyhock House! Also, this park is where the Elvis and Audrey party was filmed for Big Little Lies.

Beautiful views of central Los Angeles and Hollywood. The Hollyhock House is also here and the $7 self-guided tour is worth it. Great spot for a picnic, hanging with your pup and taking in the city.

Intimate hidden local gem. A park with the Hollywood sign, and observatory view. Great for picnics, dog friendly with leash, lots of shades areas, museum/art gallery and the amazing architecture.

Great park. Amazing city views, small art museum.. love hanging on the grass and cloud gazing.

Great park with a wonderful scenic view of the Hollywood Hills, Griffith Observatory, and a good amount of Los Angeles. Grassy knoll for picnics up top.

Beautiful and very comfortable place for light picnic with friends.

This was a very beautiful, but not a very accessible place. High up on a hill with lovely art facilities and museums on a grassy lawn. Fantastic Art! My only criticism is accessibility. My elderly grandmother (with a walker) was able to take the staff elevator up to the top, but then the office closed and there was no other elevator that we could find to get her down. She was forced to hold tight to the handrail and climb down all the stairs while I clattered along next to her pulling her walker down all those stairs.

Barnsdall is the best kept secret. A beautiful park at the top of a hill in Los Feliz. 360° views of the city including the Hollywood sign, the observatory, the Silverlake hills, DTLA, and Century city. The Frank Lloyd Wright designed Hollyhock house sits atop the Hill (Now a UNESCO world heritage site). Ms. Barnsdall left the house and property to the city with the decree that the space must be used as a cultural arts center. Art classes are availble for children and adults. There art studios, a large art gallery and theather space, and there is an additional junior art gallery as well.

Whats not to love?Views, landscaping, architecture, art theater, culture.... its got it all!

Good. People sleep for awhile before gates close. Nice front of a hillside that winds into a rec center or school, hell myght be a art gallery in them walls. I just like the roads , trees and grass on every side. Peace away fr streets

It’s a wonderful place to be on a sunny day. Lovely view of the city with the iconic Hollywood Sign and Griffith observatory. The Hollyhock House is worth visiting.

The art park is a nice spot - good for sitting on the grass and enjoying the view. The outdoor space is a bit smaller than I expected, though. The duke turn wine in the park events are nice, but the music they put on can get a bit loud if you end up too close to the speakers

Nice place to go up to, enjoy some quiet time and sit on the grass. Take something to munch on or a coffee. Free parking but it does fill up depending how clear is the day. Preferred spot for couples with a toddler.

Art Center offers art classes, writing classes & photography, etc. Sunday will be Art & Craft Fair. (9-22) 10am. Wrights Home Tours are available for that beautiful restored UNESCO House, so this place houses history for 100years +plus.

Nice view and picknic .

Barnsdall Art Park comprises the Hollyhock House by Frank Lloyd Wright, Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, and Barnsdall Theater. I only went for the Hollyhock House because I am a Frank Lloyd Wright enthusiast.Overall the house is stunning. Its one of the five FLW homes in LA, and is open Friday thru Sunday. In order to see the outside of the house, you have to book a tour since most of it is gated off and does not allow the public to wonder freely. Even then, you still are not permitted in the garden area which was slightly disappointing.You are also limited once you get inside the house. Only three rooms are for viewing, and the rest of the house is closed off. There are no plaques or labels. If you have a question you must ask one of the docents.I enjoyed seeing the house in person. It is an unusual FLW home and parts of it were restored/reworked by his son. However, it was off-putting that so much of the home was off view and it relied heavily on docents for information. There was a brochure available to carry through the house, but not one you could take home.If you have the chance to go you should, especially since the other homes arent open to the public. Additionally, you can see the FLW Ennis House across the way, which is pretty cool.

The location is great because its on top of a hill and it affords views of the surrounding area. The Hollyhock house is beautiful in its strong geometric design. The only drawback is that you cannot go into the kitchen or other areas of the house due to it not being wheelchair-friendly. Perhaps at some point they can accommodate that issue without disrupting the design.

Its a great view and a public place. Back up on the security . LA you beauty thank you

The outside tour is a lil pricey for what you get, but definitely interesting to see that part of the house!

Lovely place, everyone who works there is incredibly knowledgeable, the art gallery a welcome surprise. The house itself is really lovely and affecting. Worth the visit.

This park has views to die for! i cant believe i have driven right by it for years and never thought to stop by. i cant wait to come back with a good picnic lunch or some headphones and just get away for an hour or two. i highly suggest stopping by

I go up there to hide from work lol. Its a relaxing place to chill and unwind. Good views too.

Such a great spot to springboard a date night or a while night with friends. We picked up wine and snacks at Jons Marketplace on the way up. After a few sunset toasts we walked down to The Middle East Club for sidewalk hookah with our new friend George (he owns the place). When our stomachs started to growl we walked over to Carousel to pretend we were the Kardashians and feast on classic mezas. Such a good time!

Love this park! Check out the Hollyhock House by Frank Lloyd Wright. Its his first Los Angeles commission and an ode to California – its freedom and natural beauty.

Nice quiet park with some shady spots to chill out

Its a legendary, beautiful, campus gallery and outdoor space. The current show is Offal....not awful. So it takes a bit of strength to see. Please make the trip. Bring a picnic.

First Frank Lloyd Wright house in LA, even though he got fired after 2 years because he tripled the budget. Some beautiful details in the windows and woodwork. The regular tour only allows you limited access to rooms 9on the first floor. There are more complete tours on certain week days. Beautiful views. No photos allowed.

Its quiet, clean and nearby, but unfortunately we have some homeless in California, I wish we could close some military bases, and take care of ours veterans and homeless, Ill be willing to give 1 percent of my income to them. May God bless America.

Great piece of nature near in hollywood, in this location, love the environment and also the location as a piece of heaven located near here. Great job! Good place for a walk too. Check out the art too and museum while your at it.

Come to this park if you want to see the most beautiful sunset you’ve ever seen. This is also where big little lies was shot and if you’re a huge fan you should definitely come here and look for the stairs where the season 1 ended, no spoliers

Free park with very nice view

Incredible space. Its a park, art gallery, say studio with classes for adults and kids, a Frank Lloyd Wright heritage home site, and a theatre.All set on a high hill in Los Feliz looking at Griffith Park.

Hilltop park with a view of the Hollywood sign and The Griffith Observatory. Filled with Facilities that embrace, admire and celebrate Art and draws the community closer and together.

I love taking my dog there for sunset. Very friendly place with a nice view.

They offer great and inexpensive programs for kids to develop the artistic side they don’t get to work on at schools.

Been coming here for over 15 years. Was and still is the best park in Hollywood with beautiful 360* views of Hollywood and downtown skyline. Great for families, romantic sunsets, and of course my favorite place to walk my dog.

Its a chill park with lots of parking but there isnt many places to sit and the gallery isnt always open. Good for runners and dog walks though.

Nice place to go and get some air and excercise. Seems like a very safe placr

I loved this park and history of it as well. Great park to walk and exercise in. Lots of stair to go up. Free work. Beautiful view. Even a quite place sit and relax. Very clean.

Beautiful park with a great view of the Hollywood sign. Sunsets are great here! Theres also an historic deco building, art gallery and theater.

We went for tour of house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It was a lovely home, but guided tour was even better. Our tour guide was very well informed and captivated the group. Museum of near by was interesting and they offer some unique classes to the public.

They are particularly persnickety about dogs being on leashes. Also barking. Guards will reprimand you when your dog barks excessively. Otherwise, super chill, great views.

Fairly busy for a small park but a nice space and free of road noise. Plenty of parking down the hill when I visited but was a bit chaotic where people were trying to park further up. Pretty distant but good views of the observatory and sign

Fairly hilly and populated with buildings designed by Frank Loyd Wright which are being renovated.

Nice park. Limited parking. Some arts & crafts classes.

Great park to see the Hollywood sign and view of the city

Wonderful atmosphere with great views of LA and Hollywood. Highly recommended!

Great park. I can always find parking and they have great events in the theater.

Awesome treasure in L.A! The museum is free, the views are great, the architecture is really interesting, and it is walking distance from a really vibrant area in Los Feliz.

Did an art project with families on a Sunday morning. Looked at an exhibit in the gallery, that was free. Beautiful place and quite inspiring.

Very beautiful views of the city!

Just an awesome park. And a great place to see the Hollywood sign and The Observatory.

Enjoyed our visit here, both for the views and the history.

The art need I say more beautiful.

Super disappointing, You werent allowed into any part of the Hollyhock House, except for the entry way. From there you could see into the kitchen and living room. They say more of the house will be open at some point, but until then dont bother..... I will say that the volunteers working were very pleasant and knowledgeable.

BEAUTIFUL location. Safe and fun for adults and children. great views. During special outdoor events live music food and alchohol. Lots of security. Family friendly

It has a lot! Shopping placed then up the Hill art of various forms! Paintings to music. Nature! A very cool place to be in!

This park is beautiful! Plenty of green grass with a clear view of the observatory and Hollywood sign. Theres cool murals on the side building, and there are public restrooms inside of the gallery.

Such a beautiful location. I went up there with some friends and was so impressed with the view.

I always go there to attend my monthly Final Cut Pro x users group meeting and arrive earlier than 6PM to find parking all the way up to the Gallery Theater. The place is beautiful and allows you to see a great Hollywood sunset if the weather is fine. You can also see the Hollyhock house designed by Frank Loyd Wright.

It was cool just that too many big hills long walk to get to the park

Nice park, just in between Hollywood Blvd and Sunset Blvd.Just a nice quiet and relaxing place

Great theater, tucked away up the hill. Saw the amazing Michael Colyar perform his hit play Momma. Nice park as well.

I took the beginners painting class here. It was such a nice experience to focus on something so challenging and removed from my daily routine. The instructors were pretty helpful in their observations and instructions, but it was sort of save yourself from drowning by learning to swim.I would definitely take another class here. Its such a funky, unique place to shake of the weeks yucks and recharge. Plus, the cafe has awesome coffee...

Great place all around close to the red line, and the dash or walk to the sowden house on Franklin Ave. which once belonged to a doctor associated in the infamous Black Dahlia murder.

Really chill escape. The gallery was alright, wasnt a fan of some of the workers following me around. The park is really pretty tho. Lots of gorgeous views of the city.

Cool view of the sunset.

The Hollyckock house is delightful place to visit and views of Griffith observatory and Hollywood sign are unbeatable!

Loved Barnsdall park and my dog did too. Theres lots of dog friendly trails that arent too difficult. Its surprising youre still in CA, its very calming and secluded. The cafe at the front of the park is very quaint and worth stopping at either before or after your hike. If hiking isnt your thing, relaxing at the park is a nice way to spend the day too.

Peaceful hippie like. Park with no jungle gyms now swing set. So u will find meditation, yoga on Fridays, and a sense of peace.

Great for picnics just dont bring lawn chairs or tables they make you put them away. View is amazing. Parking gets packed so come early.

No Factory whatsoever waste of time unless you have nothing else to do

Amazing place to come see all of los angels from all different views also a great place to take a hike or simple read a book snap pictures for your social media
