What are you supposed to do with three dogs on a Sunday morning in LA when the weather is nice?…read moreWell, even though I just summed up almost every morning live here, the correct answer is take said dogs somewhere for some exercise and a nice walk. I've never heard of TreePeople and rarely want to venture into Beverly Hills but my wife was pretty stoked on checking this place out so that's exactly what we did. We showed up around 8:00AM and were lucky enough to snag a parking spot in the lot. The lot itself was pretty packed and clearly many other people had the same exact idea that we did. Once all three dogs were ready to go we enjoyed about 45 minutes of walking before the senior dogs needed to return and pass out in the back seat., fun I know. This area is super nice and has a bunch of different places to sit down on benches and get some amazing views of the city I call home. I'm not sure what the group was, but there was a big group of people being followed by a truck so at one point we had to jump on some stairs and get out of the way, not sure what was going on. The part we did was pretty much the entrance up a few small hills and over to a second bench area, but I'm definitely trying to come back here to hike the mountain at some point. Overall, this place was beautiful and definitely somewhere worth checking out if in the city. The trails I saw were clean and the place is clearly taken care of. I'll absolutely be back soon to hike the trails a bit more without my old dogs and I very much look forward to it.

People don't do much reviews on parks. Why? I don't know. I have been to this park 4 times in the…read morepast. I truly like this park very much. It's close to home and offers a lot of activities to do. It has children's playground equipment, 2 basketball courts, 4 BIG, tennis courts, a dirt track, clean bathrooms, picnic area, nice spacious landscape and the most important, it's kept nice and clean. This park is one of my favorite parks in Studio City. They have recreation areas and can let you sign up for sports/classes that interests you. Recently, I had taken few classes with couple of their teachers/coaches and they are WONDERFUL! Earlier this morning I went to play tennis with one of my friends. Tennis is one of my favorite sports to watch and to play. We don't keep score. We just like to play and have fun. You can walk, jug, people walk their dogs, kids, they have picnic areas and do a lot of kids birthday parties.. or you can just simply sit in silence and enjoy nature, the sunlight and have a good, peaceful time. Private lot parking, or street nearby parking. They are closed on Sundays. Kind of weird, but it's their rules, not mine. That's when people usually spend time with their families. I am not going to dock a star for that since it meets all the other amenities & requirements.

I finally had a chance to visit for a Tarzana Music Night last week. What a fun event! Because the weather was being forecasted to be cool with the potential of rain, the event was held indoors. Things were comfortable, but we were in close quarters with the other attendees. The sound was great and the performances were a lot of fun. I was primarily there to see a good friend perform, but I also had the chance to see some other talented musicians. I think each one was a singer songwriter, and I enjoyed each performance. Each one of the people that was working at the venue, which I imagine may have been on a volunteer basis, was friendly and a lot of fun. Normally the music nights are held outdoors, and I can imagine that most of the year, it is a lot of fun being in the open air.

There is a neat area that they have raised gardens, their own compost area and some fun stuff growing there.

They host different events and activities during summer you just have to look at their website for when they will be. When you go inside the little facility there is a lot of fun facts, history and little area to read books and ask for information. One of our favorite parts of this area was the Quail land area.. such a cute spot and the kids love it. There are many great opportunities for kids to really take in nature and bringing snacks and water is a great idea. There are many spots to sit and relax. Bathrooms were very clean and I loved that they had a water refillable station near bathrooms. Can't wait to be back. Great spot & had access to a hike trial as well.

Right smack dab in the middle of Los Angeles, across from the Grove in Fairfax, you'll find one of…read moremy personal favorite parks in town! The Park has a lot of green space with a walking path (my usual jam), an outdoor swimming pool, basketball courts, volleyball courts, soccer fields, baseball diamonds, a tiny outdoor amphitheater, a children's playground, some outdoor adult workout equipment, the Holocaust Museum, a Rec Center (they even have break dancing classes!), a Senior Center and the Fairfax branch of LA Public Library ~ everything can be had on this couple blocks of beautiful space. They have a pretty big parking lot but y'all saw how much I just mentioned happens at PPP. There aren't enough spots for all that at peak times so go green & walk/rideshare here. I've come at all times of the day and the park is quite well maintained. The staff cleans it extremely thoroughly on the daily and they do their best to keep up with LA madness. Nothing is perfect, but they do a fantastic job imho. I almost always feel safe when here alone. Random but J-Hope from BTS ate at a picnic table along here one day when in LA, it's in his videos diaries. The walking loop is about 1.1 miles around so a couple smashes around the bend & you get a lovely stroll out of it. At the far corner is a 12.5 ton statue of a sitting Haym Salomon. Fairfax is a heavily Jewish area of the city and this pays homage to those roots as he was an Jewish immigrant who financed and raised funds essential to the American Revolution. It's an interesting history of this 13' statue as it moved to this location in 2005, aligning with the Jewish population movement in the city. This statue started it's journey at it's 1944 dedication in Boyle Heights, it was meant to celebrate immigration contributions and American freedom during World War II. In 1951, it moved to MacArthur Park, then finally to the other side of Pan Pacific Park in 1984, until finally getting to it's current corner 20 years ago! History is wild~! School lessons aside, I love this park! I'm a fan and I'll forever love these 28 acres of public space.

I really wanted to like Pan Pacific Park because the location is honestly prime. It's right next to…read moreThe Grove, there's always energy, and on the surface it feels like one of those iconic LA parks that should be thriving. But the second you actually spend time here, especially on a weekend, it turns into something completely different and honestly pretty disturbing. The park gets insanely packed, which already makes everything feel chaotic, but the real issue is the condition of the facilities. The restrooms are beyond unacceptable. Not just "oh it's a public park" bad, but genuinely shocking, like something that makes you stop and question how this is even allowed to stay open. I'm talking about conditions that feel neglected to the point where it's uncomfortable just being nearby, let alone going inside. I went into two different restrooms thinking maybe one was just unlucky... nope, both were equally disgusting. I'll be posting pictures because it honestly doesn't feel believable otherwise. It gives off this weird in-between vibe where you don't know if you're at a city park or some kind of neglected shelter space, and that's not something anyone should feel at a place like this. What really made it worse for me is walking into the recreation building with the basketball and volleyball courts and realizing it's the same story inside. Worn down, under-maintained, and just lacking any sense that the city is actually investing in it. Meanwhile, you literally have the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust right there being renovated and cared for, which just makes the contrast even more frustrating. How is that level of attention happening on one side, but the actual park people use daily feels ignored? It's honestly disappointing because this place has so much potential. The location alone should make it one of the best parks in LA, but instead it feels like it's being left behind. I hate to say it, but I probably won't be coming back. There are just too many other parks where you don't have to deal with this level of neglect.
