A very sweet park with a great view that not many people know about. Also has the Hollycock house built by whats-his-name... Frank Lloyd Wright. Go just to see the moat going through the living room.

Everything Else
Every Sunday - don't miss it! Fun, lively, sometimes there are goats! And there is always yummy food. You can park in the LA Film School garage for $5 flat rate. I would recommend that.
