This is one of my favorite places to take my dog Banjo when we’re in LA. It’s lovely and shady…and if you walk long enough it’ll lead you all the way to the Observatory!

This is a hidden tropical gem in a mostly dry city. I didn’t expect to find ferns in LA until I explored this short, but sweet trail. You can find turtles, koi, and even crawfish here!
