Griffith Park Recreation Center Playground

Great playground for toddlers thru elementary! Two different play structures for different ages. There’s even a zip line! No swings but my daughter didn’t mind with all the other fun things going on!

Gated, off street parking, convenient location, maintain facility, plenty of benches, good community. …As a parent, what else can you ask for?

We pass by this park when we were heading to pony ride (very close by), and my girl shout to me «zip-​line! Mommy look!!» So we stop there n play instead, nice find! The park looks new n nice!

Best impromptu playground! I say that because it’s one of those parks I usually drive on by when heading towards the I-​5 right around the corner. However, on a few occasions my kids were a little stir crazy on our way home so we pulled over for a much needed romp on the playground then continued on our happy, knackered way. It’s easy to miss because it’s nestled at the bottom of a small hill. A large sloping lawn separates it from the busy street above.
The playground sits just next to a nursery school and amidst tennis courts, large soccer fields, community swimming pool and recreation rooms. Even though the park is abuzz with activities, the little playground is quiet, separated from the other areas by a large grassy picnic area.
I’d say the two play structures are designed with ages 2 to 5 in mind. There are a few large trees that provide some shade but this playground could definitely use some shade sails. It gets a little hot in the late afternoon sun. A sidewalk run encircles the sandy area and the entire play area is enclosed by a fence keeping the kiddos nice and safe. There are plenty of benches to sit on and tons of shady parking spots in the adjacent lot.
