Suggestions for Park near El Sereno, Los Angeles

LAist • April 15, 2012Hills on both sides of the park provide great views, of downtown LA, Catalina Island, San Gabriel Mountains, Hollywood Hills, and on clear days, San Jacinto and San Gorgonio, some hundred miles east.

HC J. • August 20, 2011So many trails to explore here, and lots of nice views of the city from up in the hills of the park.

Joseph C. • October 1, 2014FYI- In older maps, "The EastSide" goes into Echo Park & near that area. Some newer districting & names of neighborhood groups & news outlets also agree.

Carissa Moore • September 1, 2011Love this park!

Taj C. • June 25, 2013This is a great park for the kids to play in. There is a nice playground with lots of shade and playground equipment for toddlers and bigger kids. There are also paths that are good for scooters.

NaTasha K. • October 22, 2012Beautiful park. Great place for family picnics.

Steph M. • September 11, 2010There's a smaller park on the side where the Tennis Courts are, adjacent to the pool. Great for picnicing, and walking your dog.

Keone C. • September 12, 2012Free beginner capoeira classes Thursday 6:30-7:30pm. Fun for all ages, learn martial arts, Brazilian culture, & Portuguese. Plus you'll look awesome busting out those moves at any dance/club!

LAist • May 5, 2015While it may not be as secluded as some of the other parks in L.A., Grand Park still delivers with plenty of great spots to picnic right in the heart of downtown.

Alex R. • January 18, 2015good place walk around

Corey • April 15, 2018Beautiful upgrade to the park, it looks amazing. It just needs some trees. There's very little shade. Still a great walk with your dog, and probably a good place for some outdoor events.

Roberto M. • June 19, 2013Take a seat an relax for a bit. Great view.
