Comments

When is the next GP Advisory Board Meeting? What is the best way to get an item considered for the agenda? Someone at Parks & Recreation suggested I contact your advisory board. Thanks in advance.

Can't wait for the bathroom to be clean at Bronson Canyon.

Tom Labonge will be missed.

Why is officer Loserelli allowed to harass, handcuff, and arrest a long time Los Feliz Resident during a pandemic over a sign he did not even see the individuall put up?

Even though I cooperated and gave him my license he still handcuffed me. He was a bully and was retaliating because I had given Public Comment against his friend the Golf Boss.

The City Attorney did not file the case because it was an iliegal act they are trying to cover it up!

Hey Friends of Griffith Park! I am conducting a quick survey for to try to gather data about how covid has affected active visitors of Griffith Park! If you could take a second to fill it out and tell me about your experience this year I would really appreciate it :) Thank you!

Today we opened the latest Bridge Home facility in #LACD4! This is the 4th homeless housing center to open in CD4.

The Los Feliz Bridge Home, run by PATH - Making it Home, will mean shelter, safety and healthcare for hundreds of people currently living on the streets or in the LA River.

This center, and the many more we are building across #LACD4, will save lives. It’s not just about the housing, but the care & services that our unhoused neighbors so desperately need - and the close collaboration with the community that will make more homeless housing possible.

Thank you to all the community groups and organizations that worked together to make the Los Feliz Bridge Home a reality, including Los Feliz Neighborhood Council, Los Feliz Improvement Association, Silver Lake Neighborhood Council, Griffith Park Advisory Board, Griffith Park Adult Community Center, Friends of Griffith Park, and many more. Thank you to Aether Apparel and Allied Feather & Down for their donations!

I'm trying to wrap my head around the logic of people who leave bags of their dog's f***s on the ground in the park. Sometimes it is on the trail, but often, RIGHT NEXT TO THE TRASHCANS!!!! What is the thinking here? :
"I've done my part! It's up to that city agency that employs people to stoop down, pick up the bag and actually deposit it in the can now! I don't want to put anyone out of a job!"
I know I am not the only person made crazy by this.

With over 4,210 acres of both natural chapparal-covered terrain and landscaped parkland and picnic areas, Griffith Park is the largest municipal park with urban wilderness area in the United States.

Situated in the eastern Santa Monica Mountain range, the Park’s elevations range from 384 to 1,625 feet above see level. With an arid climate, the Park’s plant communities vary from coastal sage scrub, oak and walnut woodlands to riparian vegetation with trees in the Park’s deep canyons. The California native plants represented in Griffith Park include the California species of oak, walnut, lilac,

mountain mahagony, sages, toyon, and sumac. Present, in small quantities, are the threatened species of manzanita and berberis. Over the years recreational attractions have been developed throughout the Park, however an amazingly large portion of the Park remains virtually unchanged from the days Native American villages occupied the area's lower slopes. Today's Griffith Park offers numerous family attractions, an assortment of educational and cultural institutions, and miles of hiking and horseback riding trails, and provides visitors an ideal environment for enjoyable recreation activities. Originally a part of the Spanish land grant, Rancho Los Feliz, the park was named for its former owner, Colonel Griffith J. Griffith. Born in Glamorganshire, South Wales, Griffith emigrated to the United States in 1865, eventually, making a personal fortune in California gold mine speculation. In 1882, Griffith settled in Los Angeles, and purchased a 4,071 acre portion of the Rancho Los Feliz, which stretched northward from the northern boundaries of the Pueblo de Los Angeles. On December 16, 1896, the civic-minded Griffith bequeathed 3,015 acres of his Rancho Los Feliz estate as a Christmas gift to the people of Los Angeles to be used as parkland. The enormous gift, equal to five square miles, was to be given to the city unconditionally - or almost so. " It must be made a place of recreation and rest for the masses, a resort for the rank and file, for the plain people," Griffith said on that occasion. " I consider it my obligation to make Los Angeles a happier, cleaner, and finer city. I wish to pay my debt of duty in this way to the community in which I have prospered." Since Griffith's original gift, further donations of land, along with City purchases and the reversion of private land to public domain have expanded the Park to its present size. Col. Griffith died July 7, 1919, however, he had left a sizeable trust fund to complete the dreams he had for the park; specifically designating funds for the construction of a Greek amphitheater (the Greek Theatre, built 1930) and an observatory and hall of science (Griffith Observatory, built 1935.) Griffith Park stands today a monument to the dedicated vision of one man--Griffith Jenkins Griffith, Park Commission, civic philanthropist, advocate of parklands, and fervent speaker of recreation for the health of Los Angeles.
