Although LA is notable for its lack of parks and green spaces, it does host the largest municipal park in the US, Griffith Park. Home to the (currently closed) Observatory as well as an equestrian centre, the zoo and a wealth of trails and hiking paths, Griffith Park is an unexpectedly rich escape just a few miles from downtown.
Updates
It will reopen in early November, 2006. See: www.griffithobs.org/
