Elysian Park

07/30/22

Elysian Park has plenty of trails and green space to picnic and play. Plenty of parking, picnic tables, barbecue pits, and restrooms. Make sure to check the calendar during baseball season, because Dodger Stadium is right there and the Dodger traffic can be a pain. If you’re hiking the trails in the middle of the day, make sure to wear sunscreen, a hat, and bring lots of water. There are also active wildlife, coyotes especially, so make sure to watch your dogs and walk them on a leash.

There is a turn out with about 5 parking spots on Angels Point Drive. Park there, and the tra...

Generally flat and one tiny incline that can easily be avoided. You can also rent swan paddleboats that light up at night. There is the chain link fence that now encloses the park, surrounding the lake, which s...

Three Stooges Stairs

The stairs are about 147 steps. Located at Fair Oak View Terrace and Edendale Place in the Silver Lake, a district of Los Angeles. They are famous for where the Three Stooges short "An Ache In Every Stake" was filmed in 1941. It is a classic scene of where they have to deliver a block of ice all the way to the top of the stairs and with the stairs being so long, the block melts into a cube.

Mattachine Steps

The Mattachine Steps, also known as the Cove Avenue stairway, is dedicated to the Mattachine Society (The name was taken from a medieval French secret society that set out to right wrongs.) in 2012 in memory of Harry Hay, who cofounded the gay rights group. Right along this stairway is a small house where the courageous Harry Hay once resided.
