Lake Hollywood Park

My Boston terrier loved it… the area/​location was beautiful and got some cool pics of my boston by the Hollywood sign. Would definitely come back!

This is a lovely area that is adjacent to the Lake Hollywood reservoir. The park itself is spacious. Primarily used by families and people as a dog park. Most dogs be advised are off leash. I’ve been here many times I have never run into any problems with another dog or someone not able to control their dog with voice commands.
It has an amazing view of the Hollywood sign. Parking is always been plentiful. However it is all street parking for the most part as the lot fills up rather quickly. In the street parking is on an incline or decline depending on which way you’re facing. Regardless, this park is one of Hollywood’s hidden gems.
*** when you’ve finished at the park, you can walk down the hill and around the curve to Lake Hollywood reservoir. And take in that site. Quite an engineering feat. It is and should be noted, technically there’s no dogs allowed. Although I’m not going to say that I haven’t seen a few dogs there as well as bicycles which are also band.

Always a nice view you really meet other dog owners that are very nice great place to go to and the dog loves don’t you Arya

Nice grassy field but there are signs everywhere that say no soccer and no dogs off leash. There’s only one picnic table so what’s the use for this park?
Drugs.
What else would you do with such a space?
Duh.

Brought my friend here from Paris. she wanted to see the Hollywood sign. with very little effort we can get to see the Hollywood sign in a very nice spot. both of us had so much fun in this beautiful place.

If you are going to hike up to the Hollywood sign this is a great place to park. Past this park there are tight residential streets that have limited to no parking.

Love this park! Especially when the dogs are able to be off their leash! sometimes there are park rangers who are party poopers and give out tickets but usually they’ll give a warning before they do. Overall this is my favorite dog park to take my dog Beamer to!

I love this park, my puppy loves it even more. So much open space for dogs to run around and enjoy themselves. why this isn’t an official dog park bums me out.
Be careful with the Rangers, they are real assholes. I came here 2 – 3 days ago and the Rangers were just watching everyone for probably 1 hour straight. For the people who actually live here we shouldn’t have to be patrolled for just wanting to take our dogs to this park. It’s ridiculous. Haven’t been back because it was depressing seeing so many dogs just tied to a leash when they had so much open space to run around.

Great park to bring your dog. Stay with them! A some reviewers stated, some owners just let their dogs run wild and there’s poop everywhere! There is a sign that says dog must be leashed, but I went on a Sunday and there were no cops/​park rangers there.
This would be a great park if everyone picked up after their dogs. The majority of owners are friendly! My car key actually feel out of my bag and some dog owners actually walked around to help me find it so nice!
If you are looking for a longer hike to the wisdom tree, you can def start at this park because there is a trail leading to it.

I take all of my friends and family here when visiting LA. We park in the area and walk all the way up to the hollywood sign. It’s a nice little hike.

Pro: This is a great unofficial dog park. Both my dogs love this park and all the owners are great.
Con: it’s NOT officially a dog park which means it’s patrolled by park rangers. They let me off with a warning today but threatened to give me a $ 456 ticket. No one ever uses this park except to see the Hollywood Sign or play with dogs. They even we’re having a doggie photo shoot there today.
So just know that dogs will love it, you’ll love it, but you run the risk of getting a hefty ticket.

What a nice park, lots of green for dogs to run on and play. If you have a good social dog this is the park to go to. The people here with there dogs are very cool and all the dogs here seem very well behaved. Just to bad I cant take my dog here every day. But its on my lists of parks to be at. Lots of shade too if you like the shade.

Best place to see the Hollywood sign. I love bringing friends from out of town to do Cahuenga Peak to see the sign from above and then this park to see it from below.
People don’t stay too long to see the sign, so although parking usually looks tight, it frees up pretty quickly.
Great place for a picnic, to bring your dogs, to play frisbee, or just otherwise hang out on a beautiful park with green — yes green! — grass.

I love coming here! The views are amazing, and it’s easy to find parking if you know where to look! It can get a little crowded. especially on the weekends. I have done the hike multiple times, and never had a bad time. If you can get there on a clear day you can see the ocean! It’s so nice, and parts are more challenging than others.
Most of the hike is quite easy and you can go from the Dog Park to behind the Hollywood sign and back in under 3 hours depending on how many times you stop to take pictures!

Who let the dawgs out? Clearly the cray dawg owners of Hollywood Hillz. If you ever wanted to have your dog run around the green meadow more or less right below the Hollywood sign, then this is your place (please note that this is not a dog park per se — other Unilocalers mentioned the dogs need to be on a leash).
Alternatively, if you have friends who are visiting, this is a great spot to take a close-​up of the Hollywood sign, without the parking situation at Griffith, but with similar views.
Woof!

This is a great location for a park (or dog park). While it’s not suppose to be just for dogs dogs, but almost all dogs and their owners will come here to socialize and hang out. I took my pup here earlier this month and we hung out in the grassy field, socialized with some friendly dogs, and took in the great views of the Hollywood sign.
The Lake Hollywood Reservoir is also nearby, so be sure to check that out.

A great green location of the iconic Hollywood sign as your scenery but for the love people, please LEASH your dogs. This is not a dog park that people have made it out to be yet alone, an off leash dog park. I know everyone thinks their Fido or whatever you name your dog is obedient… that was so not the case when I saw dogs off leash here scaring people that came to take pics of the Hollywood sign and dogs would just bolt whever they pleased. I saw horse mounties come to write tickets for people who again, had their dogs off leash and complained that the horses were scaring their dogs, hence, the crazy behavior. Sigh… LA, a city of constant excuses…
Around this neighborhood, you can squeeze in a mini hike to see other views of this crazy city. Be respectful… it is a neighborhood so calm on the honking of cars as there are tons of pedestrians and bolting dogs.

About 500 ft above Lake Hollywood Park is the best scenic view of Los Angeles, the Pacific Ocean and the famed Hollywood sign. It’s literally a hidden gem.
There is residential (no permit needed) parking on both sides of the streets. The air is fresh. And, there are not a lot of tourists clamoring to see the sign.
I’ve seen the Hollywood sign from Gower Street and Griffith Park Observatory, but this vantage point trumps both locations. This perspective is what tourist really imagine Los Angeles/​Hollywood will look like. The bonus is upon the horizon — you can see the Hollywood Reservoir twinkling and gleaming.
The overall landscape is full of lush, green grass from hilltop-​to-​hilltop including small rows of grape vines. Who knew.
I hope more people find this location.

This park is really hard to find with GPS. There is no parking and it’s crazy hot out there. It’s good for a 2 second photo in front of the Hollywood Sign but that’s about it. Also no cell phone service up there.
We literally spend 2 minutes at this park. There is nothing enjoyable really about that park.

We take all our visiting friends here for a great photo pix under the Hollywood Sign. (Just past the park is a curve with a great view point.)
It’s quiet and clean and you feel like you’re «in» on a local secret!
