Summer break is coming up on June 25th and children in the Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silverlake areaare lucky to have  Griffith Park right in their own backyard. It  has many attractions that are perfect for preschool children. Check the website (http://www.laparks.org/dos/parks/griffithpk) for addresses and phone numbers.

• Take a ride on the little trains, the ones just north of Los Feliz Boulevard and Riverside Drive. Next stop- Chicago.
• Next to the trains are the pony rides.
• The Merry-Go- Round is further up Riverside on the left.
• Shane’s Universally Accessible Park and trike and bike riding area is a short walk down from the Merry-Go-Round.
• Crystal Springs has a nice picnic area for frisbee playing and ball throwing as well as a playground.
• Bike rentals are available on Crystal Springs Drive at the Ranger Station.
• On the valley side is the LA Zoo and Gene Autry Museum. Go to the zoo in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat.
• The Live Steamers are a special treat. The Steam Club members give rides on live steamers on Sunday from 11 am to 3 pm.
• Hiking Trails are sprinkled throughout the park and the website will lead you to where they are.

Enjoy the break! For all of our kids, we look forward to seeing  you back on the 6th of July.Tweet
