If you want a great view of the iconic Hollywood sign without having to hike, then head over to Lake Hollywood Park. You’ll be able to see the sign up close directly from the parking lot, though you may get a better view if you walk uphill a bit. The park is extremely popular and can get really busy during the warmer summer months. There’s a children’s playground that is perfect for toddlers, a sandbox which small children love, and a huge grassy area for dogs to run free and have their own fun. Bring along a camera and have a mini photo shoot that’s sure to be fun for everyone.
