If you are looking for the right photo spot for that iconic snapshot under the famed Hollywood sign, this is the right place to come to! With a playground and a ball-game area situated right inside, it is a great spot for a fun family day out. Lake Hollywood Park is a hidden gem that is often frequented by locals who bring their dogs out to play, so bonus points for dog lovers out there.

One of the perks is that this park is not as crowded compared to the other vantage points near the Hollywood sign. It also offers a beautiful view of the Hollywood Reservoir, and if you are up for some exercise, the hiking trails are very manageable and reward you with a breath-taking sight of the reservoir, both from the top of the hills as well as from a closer distance on the Perimeter Trail that circles the lake (a relatively flat and easy path that takes 40 minutes for a round trip). Other recreational activities are available too; sports fanatics would be thrilled to join the bike tours or engage in bubble soccer, so remember to reserve a spot in advance if you are interested!
