Griffith Park

 Griffith Park is a large municipal park at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. The park covers 4,310 acres (1,740 ha) of land, making it one of the largest urban parks in North America. It is the second-largest city park in California, after Mission Trails Preserve in San Diego, and the tenth largest municipally owned park in the United States. It has also been referred to as the Central Park of Los Angeles, but it is much larger and with a much more untamed, rugged character than its New York City counterpart.

The 9-hole Roosevelt Golf Course, two 18-hole golf courses, a baseball field, athletic fields, along with several basketball and tennis courts are on the grounds. The park also has a swimming pool which is open during the summer months.

With its wide variety of scenes and nearby proximity to Hollywood and Burbank, many different production crews found new ways and angles to film the same spots and make them look different. One would be hard pressed to find a spot in Griffith Park which has not been filmed or taped.

The Griffith Observatory sits atop the southern slope of Mount Hollywood. It was featured prominently in the 1955 classic Rebel Without a Cause. A bronze bust of the film's star James Dean is on the grounds just outside the dome. Other movies filmed here include The Terminator and The Rocketeer. The area of the park around the Observatory also appears as a location in the role-playing video game Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, which is set in Los Angeles. All  places in this park were filmed in various films like:  "Future's End",  "River Road Tunnel", " Who Framed Roger Rabbit " and many others.
