Two things in one: a silent art and music library where noise carries, and park grounds with a ball field, a tea house and room to run. Parking is free and plentiful. The library and gallery are small and closed on some days, so check before setting out. The park itself stays open into the evening.
Hillside park with hiking trails, a Moorish-style library, and shady picnic spots.

Really nice architecture. The library is not open on Sundays though.

What a unique building nestled in the foothills of the Verdugo Mountains overlooking the San Fernando Valley. Beautiful adjacent park grounds adding to the atmosphere. Friendly staff and a diverse selection of books to browse and plenty of space to spread out and read or study
