Bronson Canyon Playground

What can you say about a park? It’s got everything you want little bit of nature to explore and a cave that’s closed, but there’s a big hole in the fence so you can walk in there at your own risk. You can’t climb the cliffs anymore because during the health crisis people were getting stuck and it would take the rescue teams to come out and rescue them. At the top, you can eventually get to the Hollywood sign, but it takes a while. I think it takes over an hour. There are outside toilets, their maintain regularly, and there is range presence in the area as well as parks workers, there is a playground that’s not too bad in closed at the beginning of Bronson Road entry into the park. In the spring, there’s so many bees that they hum throughout the valley and you can actually feel them humming and hear them really trippy and cool at the same time . All in all, it’s a good park. They shot the opening scene to the 60s TV show Batman at the Bronson Cave. As well as other movies!

Easy hike with about 2.5 miles to get to the Hollywood sign. The first part is pretty steep but it eases out in the second part. We went on a Saturday morning and arrived at the tail head at 7:00am when there was plenty of parking spots. When we get back down around 10, the parking was overflown even out on to the street. Recommend arrive early if you don't wanna deal with looking for parking.

Nice little place to bring the family to a picnic and have plenty of playtime with the kids. Nature is close and all the low hanging trees fun to climb on. You can also hike to see the famous HOLLYWOOD sign if your kids are up for it.

Depending on your attire and mobility, you can experience a few things at Bronson Canyon. If you are with your family and you don't want that strenuous of a walk, the tunnel itself is a quick walk up a wide, easily traversed dirt road. I believe that you could even get a wheelchair to the tunnel with a bit of work (it is up a hill and there are bits of gravel here and there). If you are, however, willing to put in some hard work and are wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, Bronson Canyon has one of the best panoramic views of Los Angeles up the sharp incline surrounding the tunnel. You are able to see the Hollywood Sign, the Griffith Observatory, the ocean, downtown L.A., and surrounding cities. It's also quite peaceful up at the top. It's quite strenuous, so not many people do it. I've been twice now and it has been totally worth it. I will repeat, though, do not do this if you aren't ready for sharp inclines, being next to a cliff face, or sliding back down next to the cliff face when you're done. Although I have done this in shoes that did not have any traction, I do not recommend it. Overall, it's an amazing place that can be experienced in different ways by all kinds of people. Have fun!

The Batcave baby! So many childhood memories reignited. Sadly closed due to falling rocks though
