I love Griffith Park. Miles of trails for hiking or biking. I often go on night hikes with the Sierra Club or Los Angeles Hiking group (meetup). There is the train museum. The Observatory, The Zoo is in a lovely setting winding through the hills. There are tennis courts, golf courses. The Autry Western museum. And the views are stunning!
