Old school since 1896. I've been visiting this park for decades and every time I have visited I…read morehave seen something new. There are so many trails and areas of the park that it would take several days to cover it all. On this visit I attended a fund raising concert for Rock for Ronnie next door to the Autry Museum of the American West. Parking is free and there were many trees to shade some of us from the hot sun.

I had allot of fun on the Griffith park trail with a meet up group this past Saturday. The trail we…read moretook was dirt and mostly smooth with some areas that were rocky or slippery so wear good hiking shoes with grip. Despite that there are signs that all dogs should be leashed, many dogs are off leash on the paths but seem well behaved. I was happy to note that it seems like everyone picks up after their dogs and the trails are clean. The only negative is there are no bathrooms, so apparently I learned from other hikers that many people use Glendale peak as a bathroom for both 1 and 2. I was able to climb to Glendale peak without touching any of the surroundings but it smells bad there so what the hikers said is definitely true. I wish that the city could do something about this because it's very unsanitary. I'm glad I got to see the view but once it's enough and I will not go back to Glendale peak because of this. Otherwise the rest of Griffith hike is gorgeous and clean and fresh and I look forward to more meetups there. Also be careful, one hiker we past came down out of the hills on an adrenaline rush because he ran into 3 mountain lions, thankfully our group was not going in that direction. There are lots of wildlife and snakes around so keep your eyes open.

People don't do much reviews on parks. Why? I don't know. I have been to this park 4 times in the…read morepast. I truly like this park very much. It's close to home and offers a lot of activities to do. It has children's playground equipment, 2 basketball courts, 4 BIG, tennis courts, a dirt track, clean bathrooms, picnic area, nice spacious landscape and the most important, it's kept nice and clean. This park is one of my favorite parks in Studio City. They have recreation areas and can let you sign up for sports/classes that interests you. Recently, I had taken few classes with couple of their teachers/coaches and they are WONDERFUL! Earlier this morning I went to play tennis with one of my friends. Tennis is one of my favorite sports to watch and to play. We don't keep score. We just like to play and have fun. You can walk, jug, people walk their dogs, kids, they have picnic areas and do a lot of kids birthday parties.. or you can just simply sit in silence and enjoy nature, the sunlight and have a good, peaceful time. Private lot parking, or street nearby parking. They are closed on Sundays. Kind of weird, but it's their rules, not mine. That's when people usually spend time with their families. I am not going to dock a star for that since it meets all the other amenities & requirements.

The service on the day was very disappointing. Often, we were unable to find our party host. The food was very delayed coming out despite my asking multiple times beforehand that it be delivered promptly. They do not provide any water to guests - part of the party package is one drink ticket per kid and the options are bottles of water, gatorade, or soda. You can imagine that every kid picked gatorade and was over-sugared and dehydrated. I asked for pitchers of water. The arcade is a room with about 10 games - only half of which work + all of which are filthy. They are very expensive. Our races started almost 30 minutes late. What should have been a fun party ended up being an extra hour long, and really expensive. I have not recommended this venue to friends. No one at corporate, or the venue, has addressed my issues as of April 14, 2026. 4/23/26 Update: Thanks for responding, Jane D. I emailed and called both corporate and the location and no one has gotten back to me. You can send me a direct number and I'll reach out.

This is my second time doing this. I like this studio tour because of more interaction compared to…read moreother studio tours. Check in was quick. You then go to the room with some exhibits. You can take your time looking around even though you have a timed tour as there is a studio tour every 10 minutes. When you're ready for the tour, you go to an auditorium to see a short video about the studio and the history. This is updated with recent films (I saw a relatively different video when I went here 2 years ago). You then ride a long cart with other people in your group and your tour guide drives the cart around the lot. There are stops in different areas in the Warner Bros lot and you go down and walk with the guide. Photo opportunities are there as well. Different film/TV clips are also shown on the cart as you go through these iconic spots seeing how they were used in these films/TV shows which is cool. After this, you go to another studio where a Central Perk Cafe, a museum, and souvenir shop are located. You can take your time here as well. You then proceed to the next part of the tour. If you bought Superman experience, you go there. If not, you then go to spot where there's a Friends' couch and have pictures taken there. Next is the more interactive part where there's Harry Potter sets, some figures of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc. Costumes and cars can be seen here as well. You'll end again where you entered and there's another huge souvenir shop with different toys, shirts, mugs, magnets, key chains, and so much more. Items are cute but can be pricey. Allot 3 hours for the entire experience without the Superman experience (since we did not do that).

I was expecting something different but maybe it's my fault. I know a good amount of Warner…read morebrothers films and shows so I thought I would be prepared. The tour was mostly of sets that included sitcoms like "Friends" and you simply walk around them and visit them. Most of the buildings are empty on the inside to show you but the novelty wears off quickly. You will do this for about an hour and then are dropped off in a museum section which has lots more. They did have other unique things to see like the force perspective and sound effects but that's just it. You exit into a gift shop that is near entirely made of "Friends" souvenirs. You return to the main building for a small DC and Harry Potter section and then straight to the gift shop. I was fairly underwhelmed by it. I expected a bit more in explanation and showing things instead of here's so and so from this show. The museum portion was more of a photo op than anything. I don't think I would return.

My roommate's sister who also recently got a dog introduced my roommate and I to Joaquin Miller Park https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=NLA5cZzuSzKIgM64HtKhPQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw which was barely a ten-minute walk from her place. As another alternative place to play for our furry family member, this park was associated and connected to the Joaquin Miller Elementary School as part of the Burbank Unified School District. Will this new-found park be a nice lazy getaway for both me and the pooch!? PURCHASE Sorry... nothing to buy here. But maybe a lonely street vendor made an appearance from time to time? SERVICE With the exception of the Burbank Parks & Recreation Dept. of which probably serviced the area, it was non-existent; it's a park for goodness sake! PARKING (FREE) No private lot of their own, there was plenty of free parking on all surrounding residential streets. However, make sure to read all the posted signs for exclusions such as street cleaning, etc. - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located in a very safe and family-oriented residential part of Burbank north of the main drag of Glenoaks St., the peace and serenity instantly engulfed you. With a large grass field https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=XNcNJXBlESYHDVk2ew0K-w&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, a very cool jungle gym area https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=L-LcvT2AxgNz9j2pVhBQhw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw (heck... adults can play here, too! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ynyY9g6bpQAf6heDPLLHMg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw), basketball courts https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=O7s8OrnKHin0KHGDDdINow&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, trees for shade https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=vAEV_VyDtoPdLcTsiE5dvw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, and a restroom facility https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=06BI513K44inojGl9AwnxA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, this park generally had the amenities you'd expect. However, I didn't happen to see any grills, an ample amount of benches https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=aT2W_oWN-jNk6utShNn4Ig&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, a running track (although I believed there was one but gated off), and drinking fountains. In addition, you had some of the usual restrictions and ordinances https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=3-VPYDxvBlWmNk350pPkMA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw that needed to be adhered to. Obviously, there was plenty of natural lighting but no evening electric illumination nor was there any music unless someone brought their own. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Joaquin Miller Park was a chill find and was happy to know of another place to casually hang out in the great outdoors with myself, others, or a pet. Because this park is tied to the elementary school next door, I felt the dynamic and usable hours may change when school is back in session such as the park possibly being used for recess or lunch time. Regardless, this was a simple place that the entire neighborhood should be proud and take care of. Sure, it was missing some standard park elements (no tennis courts, too), but it definitely was a nice place to find some shade underneath a tree, relax, and maybe read a book. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $0.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, there was no need for acceptance of my credit card of choice or any funds for that matter... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

It's so close to Magnolia, Victory, Olive and many busy areas in Burbank, but when you are there it feels so remote. It is so quiet quiet with many trees and birds around, we saw a few woodpackers. It isn't huge but for LA is a pretty big park with many parking options, a few lots and streets. It has a big playground for kids, lawns, many picnic tables and benches, restrooms, water fountains, a recreation room, tennis and basketball courts (among others), a couple of museum, an arts center, a small theater. It is a small world here I didn't know about and it's a world I enjoyed being around. They even have a Starfighter in front (connected with the Burbank Historical museum that's located in the complex) There are some people around, but it isn't crowded, there are shady spots, tall trees.
