Griffith Manor Park

I was looking for a place to celebrate my daughter’s first bday and I am super happy I found this little gem of a park. I reserved the park building for 8 hours ($ 52hr) and a ($ 200) deposit. I also got the jumper permit which was ($ 35) and the permit to play loud music (at no extra charge). The facility has a full service kitchen and counters to place your food. It comes with 10 tables and 50 chairs. They also let you have food vendors as long as they are not inside the building. I had a taco vendor in the patio area of the park building which turned out to be great for my guests and I. The city of Glendale staff members were very friendly and helpful. They helped me set up some of the tables and chairs which was really nice. The park itself has limited parking but there’s plenty of street parking. If you are looking to celebrate a bday or have to host an event this is a great place for that.

Cool park, I take my 2 years old son to this park and he enjoys. It’s clean, big, has shade, table and chairs two play ground for kids one is smaller than the other one.
People mentioning this place is newly remodeled, I hope people in the neighborhood will keep it clean but I doubt it.

An adorable nice place to stop by on the way. Has lots of trees, recreation area for children, and picnic tables.

My friend had his son’s 1^st birthday party here! They used the club house for everyone to sit and eat (there’s a little kitchen area for prepping food), and it was air conditioned on a hot day. Tons of space, and super convenient.
They had also set up tables and chairs outside for enjoying the cooler weather in the later afternoon hours. There are tons of trees around the park, so shade is plentiful. There were lots and lots of people/​families at the park that day, enjoying the facilities. BBQs are allowed, and there is plenty of grass to spread out a blanket for a picnic.
The parking lot is very small, so you may have a hard time finding a spot. Just be wary that you may have to park on the street! Other than that, you’re bound to have a good time here.

Newly remodeled, really nice. Love the basketball court

You wouldn’t think, looking at the area, that this is Glendale’s oldest park. But it is, 1937.
Recently reopened (2011) after a $ 3M renovation, it’s a welcome spot of green in what is a very commercial bit of land, despite being not that far from Griffith Park.
A nice neighborhood plot of nearly 3 acres offering a shaded walk under trees in a sea of concrete that also offers a playground, a community building, a dedicated parking lot, barbecues and covered tables. If only there were more.

This park is super close to my best buddy’s house, so we take my dog there sometimes. It’s really great for her because she’s a princess, and likes parks with both path (concrete or something similar preferred!) AND grass. Too bad a lot of the grass here is somewhat dry, and my princess hates the dry feeling on her wittle paws. :P Anywho, I REALLY like the little individual table/​bench pod thingies that they have throughout the park. There’s a large park bench with an awning as well as a small BBQ every 100 feet or so, so families can maybe have a little picnic barbeque with some privacy (well, sort of). I just think its a cool concept. There’s also a good amount of seating, and an okay playground for kids. I like that it’s all enclosed, too. I didn’t go into the bathrooms, but they seemed pretty clean/​new. Honestly, it’s not the biggest or fanciest park, but I would give it a try. There’s a path going around the whole park, and it’s fun to walk your little doggie there, and maybe run around on the grass a bit. ;) Overall, it’s a good little family park in an otherwise semi-​industrial neighborhood. If you’re in the way, give it a look, but I wouldn’t necessarily go out of my way for it. It can also get a bit more crowded on the weekends (as expected).

Great park tucked away in near Dreamworks studios. Not crowded… great restrooms, and great playground areas for the kids. Love that it is not too large and it is enclosed. The parking lot is small so be prepared to park on the street but a gem of a park. Good bbq areas… nice shade all around and plenty of bbq tables to.

Paved paseos weave through the 3 acres of beautifully manicured landscape. One large swing set sits between 2 children’s jungle gym/​play areas. There are 4 covered concrete picnic benches each conveniently including it’s own bbq grill.
There are 15 parking spaces w/​2 reserved Handicapped parking slots directly in front of the community building & restrooms. If you find the lot to be full on a busy day, there is plenty of street parking on Flower. On the East end of the parking area, a full sized fenced-​in outdoor basketball court takes up realty.
This is a long awaited beautiful upgrade to this neighborhood park.
Have a wonderful day or night. deez® out!
