The Hollywood Sign
We drove to Lake Hollywood Park early in the morning for a convenient spot to capture Hollywood Sign photos without hiking. Please be aware of parking restrictions, signage, and neighborhood rules before visiting. The park may be subject to parking restrictions or limitations, and there may be signage or barriers preventing access to certain areas
It’s worth mentioning that while Lake Hollywood Park offers a closer view compared to Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood Sign will still be a distance away. If you’re looking for a closer or more elevated viewpoint, you may consider exploring the hiking trails around Griffith Observatory or other designated viewpoints in the area.
