Griffith Park, Los Feliz: A Disneyland in the birthplace of Mickey Mouse

Griffith Park has so much to do that it could contend with Disneyland. From a zoo to an observatory to a water park, this is a playground right here in Los Feliz.

It could take months to get to everything in Griffith Park, but I think everyone should go there for a least a day or two.

Here is a list of the things to do there:

27 tennis courts

3 golf courses

4,310 acres

Autry National Center *

Greek Theatre *

Griffith Observatory and Planetarium *

Hiking and Equestrian Trails

Los Angeles Zoo *

Merry-go-round

Miniature train and horse ride *

Outdoor Basketball Court

Picnic area

Soccer Field

"The Plunge" swimming pool*

Travel Town Museum *

Walt Disney’s Carolwood Barn *

I will be publishing a separate blog for each of the items with the asterisk, so look forward to great guide to this amazing place!

The highlighted items will have their own blog posting coming up.

Do you have any memories of Griffith Park? Have you been there lately?

Los Feliz Living Gets the Real Dirt about Minnie Driver's "Mystery Man"

I like to know my town.  I think it's my BUSINESS to know my town, so in an effort to keep you all informed as well, I tried to cover a lot of different ground.

​Sometimes that includes celebrity gossip because let's face it, this is Los Feliz and a lot of celebrities live around here.  

One of the top celebrity sitings of the week around here was Minnie Driver being seen out several times with a "mystery man" - we picked up the story from the daily mail here, then tweeted it out like we always do.

​Cut to Minnie herself (who looks as gorgeous as ever) picking up on our tweeter post and setting the record straight.  

​Glad we could help set the record straight.  All in a day's work.  :)
