I have been to this park numerous times and always wanted to write a very nice review on this iconic park that is SO BIG with so many different amenities such as somewhat clean restrooms and walking pathways. You can go for a stroll, ride your bike, take your dog for a walk, use their far end exercise equipment, benches, and there are picnic areas for parties, or simply getting sunshine and eating outdoors. Playground for all, a pool, baseball field and once a month, they have Food Trucks that stop on Magnolia street. They have a beautiful library that has been there for decades. They also hold community events such as fundraising, feeding the homeless, and helping others. It's always a great feeling to give back and do a good deed. Yesterday, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, the church that I go to pretty frequently had a community event right after the service. There were probably over 60 people in the park helping out with giving out free food from their hot/ cold containers.Cold & hot beverages such as sodas, water, hot coffee, clothes, chips, cookies, candies, packaged Mac N Cheese, Ramen and a lot more.. I voluntarily contributed my services to help out at the park and do some fundraising for the church. If you have a brain, heart, soul, hands and feet, let's all get together and help out the community. Located on Route 170 Freeway, street parking all around, watch out for the signs not to get a ticket. It was a beautiful day/experience at this park. Thanks for keeping it well maintained, nice, green and clean!! read more

I was driving home and whoa I felt like I was driving past the largest park I've seen in my life so of course I had to stop and check it out because I'm always in search for places I can bring my dog for sniffing, playing, and training. This park is ginormous located near the freeway but so many trees so there's tons of shade and all the grass is lush and green! The only downside was that I saw several dogs off leash so I'm not sure how safe I'd feel coming to this park with my dog. I also read other reviews that there are food trucks and vendors who come to the park so I would love to come back and check those out sometime soon! read more

I have mixed feelings about this park. Pros - Get outside in nature. I enjoy the open space with a huge grass area, plethora of trees, a paved dirt path, and a little hideaway area with a bench located somewhere around the middle of this park. -Doggy Social. A lot of dog activity! Dog walking, dog pooping and scooping, dog frisbee, dog chasing squirrels up trees etc. Great for your dog to socialize. -All purpose park. You can really do anything at this park like host a picnic gathering, play sports, take a stroll etc. -Pretty clean considering the amount of foot traffic and homelessness around. Cons -Certain people interactions. I parked my car in front of the park with a row of cars. It had to be 5 minutes later when I noticed a bigger woman out of nowhere was busy talking on her phone and decided to lay down on top of my car hood like it's a sun bed. I told her I'm moving my car and went ahead to turn on my engine. She then acted surprised talking to me through my windshield saying "This your car?" and talked gibberish and made bizarre facial expressions. She took her business elsewhere but after this, I've been avoidant coming here as often. No danger occurred though on separate occasions I've witnessed shouting matches, a mumbling guy waving around a broken bottle in his hand and had a bloodied head, and homeless shenanigans. -A lot of dog owners have their dogs off-leash. Some distracted and attentive owners. Thankfully I haven't come across any aggressive dogs charging for my dog. I like to visit this park when I want a real-world vibe and need some nature. Though, I can't say I feel totally comfortable with the atmosphere. I like to stick to the dirt path with the other park goers who are exercising and walking their pups just trying to enjoy some down time! I believe there's a fitness equipment area that I'd like to give a go to see if it's comparable to Burbank's fitness parks. read more

Located along Route 170, this park is one of my favorites in North Hollywood. Divided into 2 sections on Tujunga, divided by Magnolia Blvd, the north side includes the Amelia Earhart Library and Statue, tennis courts, recreation center, a pool and baseball field. The south side is mostly open space, filled with grassy ground and trees, frequently used for carnivals, small fairs and entertainment based activities. There are stationary patio style bench seating throughout the park. Food Trucks usually line up on Maganolia Blvd once a month to enjoy some good eats. A great all purpose park for the community read more

Huge mega park taking up multiple blocks alongside Tujunga with plenty of parking in the various lots as well as on the street. I've stopped by for various local L.A. food trucks and vendors over the years, had some nice walks and even seen them host some cool community events such as Valley Pride here. It does get busy on certain sides and areas of the park more than others, however there is plenty of room to spread out and explore, have a picnic, skate area, play some sports and do all that fun day at the park stuff. You can sign up for classes, courses and happenings at the parks and recreation center off Tujunga Ave/Chandler Blvd - they have some Free classes for kids and seniors. I pass by weekly both on the Chandler Blvd and Magnolia Blvd sides - alongside the 170 Hollywood Fwy - walkable to NoHo Diner, North Hollywood Public Health Department, NoHo Pizza, North Hollywood Metro Station and a lot of local gems. read more

This used to be a nice park. But there's so many dog owners now to come to this park and let their dog take a shit and don't pick it up. There's dog shit all over the place some wet some dry. read more

This park is within walking distance of where I live and is a great place to get in a few steps. The park itself is pretty big and has nice walking paths throughout. There are dogs off leash in some areas, but I've never experienced a problem with them. I keep my dog on his leash and he's pretty excited to meet the others. There are also food trucks here, so you can grab something to eat as well! Overall, a nice park to visit. read more

This is a large and safe park. It great for exercise or a Picnic. I recently attended a black lives matter event here. It's next to the library, so I like to visit when I am heading to the library. Unfortunately the library is currently close with the pandemic but the park is still pretty busy. read more

I've been coming to this park for decades! It had gone through, what I feel, are some great transformations. More trees and plants have been planted. There are multiple walking paths that circle and figure right around the park to change things up a bit. There's always something in bloom. They have also added a pretty substantial workout equipment area on the far north west corner of the park. So for all you puerile using the excuse they can't stay fit cuz they can't afford the gym.... THERE NO MORE EXCUSES! Street parking is free and generally not a problem (at least during the week). There's also a parking lot just across Magnollia across from the gym equipment. There are bathrooms, but I'm not all that excited about going into them with the growing homeless population that hangs out in the park on the benches and tables near there. So.... yea that one's on y'all. ;) Across the street is a beautiful library. I've always been partial too. Although I feel safe at this park during the day, I would certainly take extra precautions if visiting early morning and late evenings. I'm really saddened to see so many homeless camping in the bushes by the freeway that parallels this park. And also the numerous campers and old rv's that are parked. But overall, I'll always love this park. Just give me a patch a green and I'll be happy. Oh.. and the squirrels here are huge! People clearly feed them and they are not afraid to come up and say hi. So although they are very cute, they can be aggressive... so beware. They are still wild animals. read more

This is the closest park to where I live, I can even walk to it. There's street parking, too. Sure, it's small, near a freeway and main roads, but I appreciate any park, any area where you can go, walk around a bit, be in the nature for a while. The park extends on the other side where the Library is as well. Lately, they put more picnic benches area, that's great since it was lacking. There's an area with an outdoor gym where you can exercise, there are restrooms. Sure, there are some homeless people around, too, but that's a major city issue that needs to be solved. I like to have a piece of greenery where I can walk around, relax, get away from things (when I can't go further away), recharge and watch the cute squirrels chasing away. It's not crowded, you get the usual decent people walking, jogging, talking their dog out, playing sports, chilling on a blanket, soaking up the sun. They have some events here, which is nice, outdoor screenings and carnival rides a few times a year, which makes the place lively and it's great for kids and not only. We need more parks around. The bigger, the better. The NoHo park is necessary for the area. read more

When I Was A Kid It Was Better Its Still Fun For Kid Sports And To have lunch here there picnic tables a lot of shade and there was not that many people in the area i was at but i tried using the bathroom and there was a homeless guy doing drugs but overall this park is great. read more

I give the park 4 stars. Dog owners get 1. If they city wants to make more money, they really should consider visiting on a daily basis rather than ticketing someone for being 30 seconds late on their meter. Honestly, this would be a welcomed ticket for law abiding dog owners and park patrons. Great for the municipal image! - Dog owners - 1. There is no fence. It's by a very busy intersection and surrounded by freeway on/off ramps. It's clearly not a dog park. 2. The "dogs on leash" sign is not a suggestion. Though turn signals seem to only be a suggestion so we can't really expect much more out of you. 3. Get off your phone and watch your dog. Heck. Just get off your phone. You're in a park! Unplug! 4. Common sense dictates if you see an on leash dog barking at your dog as it encroaches, you call your dog away from the threatened and reactive creature. And when you ask "oh, is she not friendly?" after your dog gets a well deserved nip...it's a little late. Ask the owner before you approach if it's ok. 5. Generally scat dodging is great form of exercise, but I like to come for the green lush grass, well worn exterior and cross paths, adult freestanding gym, benches, bushes, and eucalyptus trees. So picking up your dog's waste would be welcomed. So other than the off leash dogs and the pigeons - oh yeah - there is a charming lady who believes bird seed must be left for pigeons and peanuts for squirrels - it's great! ***On a serious note, there is a severe homeless camp problem here and I've seen drug deals go down in the park. So think about a different park for your kids.*** read more

North Hollywood Park - If you can't read this sign, you shouldn't own a dog. Thanks - Parks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

3/22/19-Wow! Has this park changed! I drive by it all the time but you can't appreciate it until you actually come out & run. So many tress have been planted the grass is green & maintained. They even added rose bushes & a 9/11 memorial/seating area. There were dirt patches before.. not no more! It was a great running experience. The walking/running trail is wide & pretty flat. Yes, there are a few homeless people hanging out but no homeless camps or anything like that. Omg I also saw the cutest doggies! I know in the evenings parking sucks & it looks crowded but there is plenty of street parking. There's also a 711 at the corner which I find convenient. I will most definitely come back for runs. read more

Dogs are off leashes with signs posted that dogs must be on leash. I step in dog poo and since they built new Condos and Apartments this park doesn't even comply with social distancing. It's very crowded and you cant go here without running into a dog off leash or some inconsiderate person who didn't pick up their dogs poo. Also, there are signs for no soccer and there are people playing soccer. It ruins the grass. read more

I've been coming to this park to run or do an outdoor workout since 2014. It for sure has Changed since then and not in a good way. There are more homeless there but they're the least of my concerns. That's just an FYI for those of you who may care. A LOT of creeps wander around the area now. It's been 3 occasions where I caught a creepy guy staring at me while I workout. One time, one of them got the balls to sit under a tree literally 5 ft from where I had my mat and equipment set up and was watching me for a good 20 mins before I noticed him behind me. Mind you, many ppl had been passing by the area and didn't say anything to me. I don't feel safe at this park anymore, which sucks because I love the running trail there and it's a short drive from my place. Oh well. read more

It's a pretty park but a really unsafe area. someone tried to break into my car when I was parked there and damaged the lock. They need better security in the area. read more

It's a good thing I was raised in the area so I know something about the park. I find some of the reviews here unnecessarily negative and outdated, so I'm gonna make an attempt to clarify. First of all, North Hollywood Park is sprawled over the area between the 170 Fwy (West border) and Tujunga Ave (East border) With its South side tapering off at the 170 Fwy entrance on Tujunga, just before Riverside Dr/Camarillo, and its far North side at Chandler Blvd. It is split in the middle by Magnolia Blvd. There you have your Geography 101 lesson for today. ;) The South side of the park has a running track, an outdoor gym, restroom facilities, and is home to outdoor venues, such as seasonal fairs and other entertainment, such as free live music and movies. The North side of the park has a historical library on its brag list, as well as a full sized gymnasium, a pool with lessons during the Summer, and a senior community center that isn't just for seniors. ;) As if this all this weren't enough, the park also has baseball diamonds, basketball and tennis courts, the latter of which have served as a practicing ground for several celebrity professionals. The children's playground has been renovated since 2016, to include a softer playing surface to avoid injuries to your precious little ones. Some people are complaining about the groups of homeless individuals, but between the joint efforts of the Park Rangers and LAPD, the numbers are down significantly, at least the dangerous criminal types, as well as the huddles of dark clothed hoodies dominating picnic tables. Because of the heavy police presence, the troublemakers are behaving themselves for the most part. We are fortunate to have our community Safety Ambassadors too. Those are the nice people in yellow shirts on bikes you see cruising around The Arts District area of NoHo. Our officers on horseback and black & whites are doing a fine job. The only thing I would suggest is for the bathrooms to be open longer, so that park patrons will stop allowing their children to urinate just anywhere, not to mention all the men who seek out a dark corner when the restrooms are closed. Come on park admin! Get a security guard if you want to keep the homeless from sleeping and doing drugs in the bathrooms. I have more, but this is a bit lengthy as it is. Have a great day and enjoy North Hollywood Park! read more

This park is close to us. But that's about all of positive things. The grassy area is totally occupied by dog owners, and you might easily get tagged or pooped on. Freeway 101 is bordering with the park's east side, and the noise is unbelievable. Not a great place to relax and forget about city life. read more

Nice BIG park, Lots of great trees, right off of Burbank and Magnolia. In the NOHO area. Went here for a meditation group meetup....Beautiful day. They had restrooms, can't comment on those, didn't use them....I would come back. read more

This park is the worst place to run, jog, or crawl. Note 1: it's right next to the freeway so your pretty much breathing in n out poluted air. Note 2: the tracks are very bumpy, i couldn't run for a month cause my knee was in so much pain after running here. Note 3: they got some pretty bomb lunch trucks that come in the weekends. What? You think this whole review was negative? Well think again! PS: i'm a pro boxer so i know where is a good and bad place to run read more

A quick review as I've not much time to spend on it now. Went to this park on a Sunday afternoon. Seemed plenty of parking on the street around the park. It's a good sized grassy park with concrete paths good for those wishing to get in their exercise walks. Plenty of dogs were here - with their owners. There were a few homeless people around - but weren't too many - not too off putting. There's a section for the kids which is nice. All in all it was fairly pleasant. I wouldn't do a long drive to get there especially but if you're not too far away, yes go ahead - and get all the exercise you need!!! read more

This park is so nice but there r way to many bums here and they need to water the grass it's dead plus they have people that take there dogs and they don't pick up the dog shit it really pisses me off that people have dogs and can't pick up there dog shit!! There's always trash on the floor and people camping there like its a camp site!! Clean this park up!! It shouldn't be treated like this!! read more

Right next to a fwy, and a busy streets all around. Not the best place to excersise with all the smog. Also, doesnt seem like a very safe area. Nice greenery and well maintained. read more

This park is about a mile around (give or take) and has a couple paths in between. There are several trees, one bathroom, is dog friendly (leashed) and directly next to the freeway. There's usually street parking so you shouldn't have a hard time finding a spot. There's also a group of squatters towards Magnolia that hang out at the tables all the time. They don't seem to bother anyone but just be wary. All in all, an okay place for a walk and run if you're not looking for anything breathtaking. read more

A great place to jog/run. No one bothers you. Plus its better on your knees than pavement.

Considering it's next to the 170, it's not too bad of a park to go exercise..., trails are pretty good and it's a nice place to go and unwind. Various people come here ranging from fast walkers, casual strollers, runners, joggers, dog walkers, gatherers for soccer and/or boot camps, and picnics. (On the weekends more) Mornings and sunset times are best to go! read more

This park is awesome! It's a one mile loop, and there's some nicer outdoor equipment here than I've seen at other parks in the valley. It gets busy but not uncomfortably busy; there's always street parking nearby. I grew up sorta near this park so I know it can be a homeless haven, especially at night, so if that makes you uneasy keep that in mind. However, I've never had any issues and the patrons of this park tend to be community-oriented. read more

The park itself is very nice. But the issue really comes down to people and their dogs. Barely anyone keeps their dogs on leash at this park even though tiny posted signs say to do so. I've had a husky charge at me and my dog in aggression and I've seen a dog almost get run over by a car. This is not an off leash park and people need to stop putting their dogs at risk by allowing them to chase squirrels so close to Tujunga. So much traffic and danger for off leash dogs. read more

It's a nice park. No smoking allowed - nice! Good after-dark lighting along the perimeter running trail. But after dark, the homeless who reside there start taking it over as their dedicated smoking lounge. With all the taxes on them, if you can afford to buy cigarettes, go buy yourself a frikkin' house, you ingrate! Or, at least...I mean, you have the whole frikkin' park, but you have to smoke along the running trail? I couldn't hate you more...you're this reason good people don't give to charity... read more

The park does the trick if you're looking for a quick run. Unfortunately, the area has develop a high amount of transients. Prior to the rise they use to leave you alone and wouldn't acknowledge you, but now everything has changed. They have set up several campsites which leaves little room if you're looking to leisure at the park. Cops are usually at the park quite often now. Drinking and possibly other suspicious activities occur, which is why I only frequent the park during the day and when there's a high number of runners. They have also started free movie nights at the park and a small fair comes to town once or twice a year, but they should really clean up this park in order for it to be safer for everyone. read more
