Griffith Park
Los Angeles, CA 90027, USA
Sprawling municipal wilderness park with hiking trails, an observatory, a zoo, and sweeping city views.
This guide to Griffith Park follows Griffith J. Griffith, the mining fortune who gave the city over three thousand acres of his ranch in 1896 so Angelenos would always have somewhere green to breathe. It turns to one September night in 1903, in a Santa Monica hotel suite, when Griffith, drunk and convinced his wife was part of a conspiracy against him, ordered her to kneel on the floor. What followed split the city for decades over what his name on this park should mean.
