Lake Hollywood Park

"You can hike to the Hollywood Sign, but I prefer going to this park that's right down below it. You can get fun family pictures from here, play at the on-site park if you have little kids, or even have a picnic. There's street parking right next to the park. Since most people come quickly for the photo and then leave, parking spots (free of charge) are often made available. You can also drive up to the top of Beachwood Drive to get a close look of it. Fun facts about the sign: - Each letter is 50 feet tall (15m). - It was originally built by a real estate developer, Harry Chandler. - It was built in 1923 and used to light up with 4,000 lightbulbs. - An unemployed actress once jumped off the letter H to her death. If you decide you'd like to go on a hike to the Hollywood sign, I've heard many wonderful things about some hiking tours that takes place nearby. "

"Lake Hollywood Park is a great place to visit when you want to be close to the Hollywood sign without hiking to it. Whether you just want to stop for photos or would like to enjoy a picnic this place is accessible to everyone and has street parking available.  "
