    Love this park clean and nice not crowded. It's right next to Art center where you can create pottery.

    Love this tucked away park in the La Canada/ Glendale area…read more -Cute dogs and friendly owners -Tennis court. But not lighted :( -A park that actually has lots of shade and you're not going to collapse from the heat. - Park kept clean and is big enough to explore. -Seating available so you have the option to sit. Yay! -Plenty of parking

    We went to a fourth birthday party at Dunsmore Park and it was a great place to spend a Sunday…read moreafternoon with several small children. We took two of our own and we all had a lovely time. Parking was easy, in a lot right near the playground. There were a few parties going on but the park was small enough that we had no trouble finding the right one. The park was great, well kept and inviting. Even the bathroom wasn't bad--I generally avoid park bathrooms but had to attend Leo, and this one wasn't disgusting. The playground was nice and our four-year-old Leo B. enjoyed himself running around the play structure. I liked that the party was set up at tables close to the playground, so we didn't have to spend the whole party fighting our child's desire to run and climb. He also liked being at the party, especially when the piñata came out. Our toddler had a good time, too, and took a little nap in his stroller after a walk on the smooth concrete path winding through the park grounds. We live pretty far from La Crescenta, so we won't be spending too much time here, but I really liked Dunsmore Park. It worked well as a party venue and was just an all-around pleasant place for a weekend family outing. We'd make good use of it if we were in the neighborhood.

    This was definitely a medium to hard trail in the summer because of the heat and some of the areas…read morethat require one's attention as there is a hillside next to you. We started at 9am ish and I would definitely start at 7am in the future because of the heat in august. The water fall was still there! People got in and the water was refreshing and cool. We found that tadpoles were transforming into frogs in the water so I recommend mindfulness to not step on them as they learn how to properly swim! Tips from our hike and waterfall visit: - we had sufficient water and first aid kit - we took various water breaks - we added mosquito repellent as are some - we had all trails gps to help us navigate trail first time - bring shoes with good ankle support - I would bring electrolytes next time - I would do 3-4-snacks vs. 1-2 next time

    Birthday Shaynanigans at Tujunga Falls !!…read more Decided to go on a little adventure on my birthday and got out of San Diego to explore Tujunga Falls. Don't forget to get an adventure pass if you plan to park alongside the road or you'll get a ticket ! It's October so the falls were DRY. Boo. I would love to go back when we get a bit more rainfall, because the waterfalls were non-existent at this time. We ended up calling it 'invisible' falls. Other than that, the hike was great ! It's about 6 miles round trip and took us about 3 hours including taking pictures and testing out a friend's drone ! He's sooo cool ! LOL. Plenty of breathtaking views and the trails were wide enough for a group of hikers. Things to note: Start early so you can avoid the heat ! This will determine how long the hike will take you ! The sun was unforgiving so be prepared ! 'Trail' and 'waterfall' signs will help guide your way ! You'll also notice cabins at the beginning of the trail. After about a mile, you'll experience more of an incline so make sure to stay hydrated. There's barely any shade on this trail so bring a hat and sunscreen as well ! Poison ivy everywhere ! I had a traumatic experience in 6th grade camp when I got poison ivy. I made sure to cover my arms and legs this time just to take precaution. Rattlesnakes !!! We spotted one !!! Eek !! Be cautious of your surroundings. Unstable log bridges !! There was barely any water so hopping on the logs was an option, but do be careful because some are barely stable. Good to have some proper hiking shoes for this. Overall, most of the crossings and lack of water made it easy to traverse. As we got closer to the falls, we found a major descent and a climbing rope which guided us towards the waterfall (or invisible fall). The rope helped aid us up and down the mountain which was great ! Once you reach the waterfall (invisible falls) you'll enjoy the much needed shade and it was a perfect spot to take a fruit break ! We packed some oranges and apples with us ! There's plenty of spots to sit, relax, and enjoy nature ! Overall, it was a pretty good workout for moderate and advanced hikers ! We definitely made a few stops to take pictures and videos of our surroundings ! It was so calm and peaceful ! Perfect time to enjoy mother nature ! We will definitely come back to experience the REAL DEAL of the waterfalls ! Go out there and hike friends !!

    Nestled at the corner of Elmhurst Dr. and Tujunga Canyon Blvd, is a small unassuming patch of grass…read morecalled the Fehlaber-Houk Park. It is primarily a small curved pathway with a few scattered benches sitting in some green space. There are no restrooms, play areas, picnic tables, or swing sets. If you aren't bothered by the sounds of traffic along Tujuna Canyon Blvd, this petite parklet offers a nice place for solemn reflection or a picnic with you and your closest friends. You and your party will likely be the only people in the park as it's not heavily utilized. The park itself is a reminder of the earlier owners of the land the Fehlaber family. The Fehlabers were German immigrants who purchased 59 acres of land around the early 1900's and turned it into there ranch. Their large plot would eventually be parceled out and sold until only a small plot remained. In 1975, the last members of the family responsible for the land - Dr. John Houk and his sister Betty Swanson, donated it to the City of LA and part of that land would become this park in honor of the family. So shouldn't it be be called the Fehlaber-Houk-Swanson park? There is a small little plaque in the park to remind you of this.

    Fehlaber-Houk Park is what's called a "pocket park." It doesn't have any play areas, no picnic…read moretables, and no parking (in fact, you have to park on the street... and given how Tujunga Canyon Blvd. gets, you may have to park on the street corner). But, for just a quick break from the rush of things, and for even a small picnic, Fehlaber-Houk Park is perfect. In all the times I've visited my uncle (who lives across the street), this park hasn't been vandalized, and it always looks inviting. That's what all parks should be about, right?
