Griffith Manor Park

A Green Oasis in Glendale

Positioned on Flower Street, this 2.85-acre green space offers a refreshing escape from the urban bustle. With its inviting atmosphere and thoughtful layout, Griffith Manor Park has been quietly serving the local community since the 1950s.

There's lush greenery and scenic walking paths that wind through the grounds - excellent for those morning strolls or peaceful afternoon wanderings when you need to clear your head.

One feature parents particularly appreciate is that the entire park is fenced with a single entrance gate. This creates a secure environment where little ones can explore with a bit more freedom while staying within sight.

Places to Play

If you're looking for active recreation or just a spot to unwind, the park offers spaces for both energetic and laid-back visitors.

Kids gravitate toward the spacious playground with its variety of play sets and swings designed for different age groups. It's where squeals of delight and the sound of little feet running become the park's natural soundtrack.

The basketball court draws players from around the neighborhood, creating a hub where friendly competitions unfold and community connections form. You'll see teenagers practicing their jump shots and weekend warriors shooting hoops - the court welcomes players of all skill levels.

What You'll Find Here

Planning a gathering? The park offers three picnic areas complete with tables and BBQ grills - making it an ideal spot for everything from birthday celebrations to casual weekend get-togethers. Just remember to clean up after yourself (there are plenty of trash cans nearby).

The park maintains clean restrooms with separate facilities for men and women, a simple but essential amenity that makes longer visits much more comfortable.

Perhaps the most versatile feature is the open green field that seems to transform based on visitors' needs - one moment it's a makeshift soccer pitch, the next a sunbathing spot, and later a place where toddlers practice their wobbly first steps.

Part of Something Bigger

As part of Glendale's Park and Recreation Master Plan, Griffith Manor Park has seen improvements over the years that reflect the needs of residents and workers from the surrounding industrial area.

The park has become a weekend hotspot for celebrations and community gatherings. If you're planning to visit, note that parking is limited with only about 10 spaces in the lot, however additional street parking can usually be found nearby.

Bringing Fido Along?

Dogs are welcome companions at Griffith Manor Park, but they must remain on leash throughout your visit. This ensures everyone - two-legged and four-legged visitors alike - can enjoy the space comfortably and safely.
