Highland Camrose Park

cute hidden away picnic table area, a little hard to find the entrance and no parking but lots of picnic tables.

Highland Camrose Park is a real Hidden Gem right in the heart of Hollywood off the busy street of Highland avenue. It's hidden behind a wall and once inside you're surrounded by gorgeous Gardens trees and ample amount of picnic tables as well as a gorgeous gazebo that is often used for photo shoots. The bathrooms are clean and security is available. You can bring alcohol and a picnic anytime and it's a great spot to be as it's next door to the Hollywood Bowl and you don't have all the crowds to deal with. Don't miss out on your next trip to the Hollywood Bowl and go to this beautiful Treasure of a park

This is my favorite picnic area before the Hollywood Bowl show. The area is clean and free of bugs and somewhat away from automobile fumes , there’s plenty tall trees . The public restrooms are clean.

Well maintained park area in Hollywood! Clean and dog friendly park for locals! Not fenced so keep your pup on a leash.

A law enforcement outfit is based there, and the park also features public restrooms. It has spacious picnic areas, water fountains, and semi-private grounds due to a large stone wall facing Highland Avenue. The park is clean, well-landscaped, and offers a quiet, peaceful atmosphere.

Some kind of law enforcement outfit is based there. There's also public restrooms, wide spread picnic areas, water fountains, semi private ( due to the large stone wall that faces Highland Avenue) grounds, clean, landscaped, quiet, peaceful.

This park is very well kept and clean, maybe because there is a sheriff's office right there. Nice shade and sunny spots. Clean restrooms, water and trashcans that seem to always be empty. Short walk to the Hollywood Bowl.

The ground's keeper and crew are fantastic!

I drove by this area so, so many times and I never knew there was a park behind this wall and its gate! But this is what happens when you walk (love walking), you discover many cool things. Like Highland Camrose park, located on Highland, adjacent to Hollywood Bowl. It's a small, secluded park, fenced off, with nice greenery, flowers, picnic tables, great to enjoy a meal outdoors. It was empty when we checked it out, it closes at dusk, clean and well maintained. A small park in the urban jungle. Of course, you will hear traffic on Highland, but this lush space was a nice discovery! Great for picnics, a little break in the middle of everything!

This park was amazing. The restrooms are very convenient, nice and clean. A bit more security than my liking but at the same time makes you feel safe.

We came here for an unplanned picnic. It's a bit hard to find and somewhat deceiving. It looks like private property at first glance because of the bungalows until you get inside and realize it's Highland Camrose Park. The park was empty when we arrived. There's a lovely, concrete floored area with several tables shaded with pretty greenery. It was a cool sunny morning so we chose a picnic table in an open area. A handful of friendly people walked through with their dogs. The park otherwise stayed empty as we enjoyed our brunch under the sun and watched hummingbirds fly around us. The grounds are clean with nicely maintained plants, trees and hedges. We must mention the impressively clean restrooms. We've never seen a park have ones so well kept. We're so glad to have found this place on such a beautiful day.

Pro-tip: Arrive early with your wine, food, and disposable picnic ware to enjoy a nice pre-game for the Hollywood Bowl Just steps from the bowl, but worlds away, this place is a sanctuary in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Great place to grab a picnic table, have some wine, a few munchies prior to enjoying the Hollywood bowl. One of LA's best secret spots

Dog friendly - on leash (when open) CLOSED. All gates locked. No projected reopening date posted. Through the gates it looks like a great park. Fully gated / walled in at least from what I could see. Fantastic cottages on the property. Shaded picnic area. Hopefully one day it reopens. Aptly names as it is at the corner of Highland and Camrose. Actual address 2101 N Highland. We parked in Lot B of Hollywood Bowl on a Saturday with plenty of parking available. At least now during covid. About a 3 minute walk.

I went to Highland Camrose Park to eat dinner with friends before the opening night of the Hollywood Bowl earlier this month. I had no idea this park even existed, right off the busy part of Highland by the Bowl. We were there at 6:00, and I'm pretty sure every single person in the park was doing the same thing we were. The place felt like a part of the Bowl, just a short walk away. The park was neat and green and set up with tons of picnic tables. We were able to nab one without difficulty (says me, a person who showed up after the table was nabbed, but the park didn't feel overly crowded). I assume we were there at its busiest time, right before a Bowl show, and I'm guessing it's always a great place for a city picnic. We ate fried chicken and donuts, drank beer and sangria, and had a wonderful time before heading next door for some Celebration with Kool and the Gang. Now that I know this park is here, I look forward to going back whenever I want a relaxing outdoor dinner before a show at the Bowl.

There are two words that describe this park perfectly: green and clean! Yes, this includes the restrooms. And this is amazing, considering how close this park is to the Hollywood strip! This park sits a few blocks north of Hollywood and Highland, and immediately south of the Hollywood Bowl and the 101 freeway entrance. The park is walled, with an entrance opening up to the busy Highland Avenue. Within the walled space sits a beautifully manicured park, with seating for barbecues and other small gatherings. It is dog friendly, so feel free to bring Fido as well. The surrounding neighborhood is decent. In contrast to how the strip gets at night, the neighborhoods north of it, and adjacent to this park, are actually well-kept. This probably helps explain how tidy this park is kept. If you're looking for a nice green space in busy LA, and you want to bring Fido along for the adventure, then this is good option. Keep it classy, peeps!

A cool hidden space in the urban jungle of Los Angeles. Located across from Hollywood bowl. Behind the heritage house. You'll find free parking in the mass of light. Continue up the small hill into a nicely hidden forest area. Great for walking dogs or having a picnic at one of the tables.

An expansive picnic tabled park. Looks like a bier garten, but it was more like a wine-charcuterie park. There were table cloths, nicely dressed adults, lots of wine and food. Wish I had picnicking stuff! So many beautiful tables and no one acting up or acting pretentious. Lots of space. Lots of tree shade, too.

Many think this is a private park, which houses the Sheriff's Department and the Los Angeles Philharmonic offices; but it's not. This is a meticulously maintained area adjacent to the Hollywood Bowl. It is a small 2.1 acre park that during the season is used for by picnickers who want to enjoy a bite before an event or concert. During the off season, or days without events, this park is very quiet. You'll see squirrels, butterflies, humming birds and other fauna. Neighbors come here to play with their kids or walk their dogs. Most are very mindful to clean up after the dogs, but the two friendly care takers clean the park every day, including the restrooms -- the cleanest public restrooms I've ever seen. Sporadically, you'll bump into a harmless homeless person here. This older gentleman I met is always reading some interesting novel. His name is Francis. Open from sunrise till sundown. Public parking on the lot across from the park. If gates are locked, you can always enter thru the large gate on Camrose. I don't know who to contact for bookings, but I've seen private events held here for a portion of the day.

A wonderful park at the base of the Hollywood Bowl. A great place to have a picnic before the Hollywood Bowl. Open to the public, you can reserve on Hollywood Bowl nights through group sales. Pet-friendly, I like the little gazebo near the craftsman houses, it has several beautiful trellis with flowers.

I love this park, it's so private, I take my dogs their and hardly you see anybody. It will have a crowd when their is an event at the Hollywood Bowl. Thier is another park across the street walk up the hill and is more private, also great for walking dogs.

Had my baby shower here it was perfect! Lots of seating and so beautiful! Felt private because no one else really came to the park and the parking lot was perfect! Little hard to find for guests but we tied balloons on the gate to help guests find it easier! Everyone said how beautiful the park is and how did i find that park!

When coming to Hollywood Bowl, eat your picnic here. It is clean and safe. Plenty of room. I would still park somewhere else tho. I think they lock the gates around 9-10.

A hidden gem on Highland a couple blocks away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood BLVD. It is connected to a parks and recreation branch of the Sheriff's Department and does not offer much parking. The majority of people who visit seem to walk from their residences or just include the park in their routine walk/exercise. Plenty of benches and signs for people to pick up after their dogs. The park is always being maintenanced and I've seen everything from family picnics to homeless people catching a snooze in the shade of one of the parks many trees. Hummingbirds and bird of paradise plants galore. Love it.

Perfect picnic place pre-Hollywood Bowl performance. The Highland Camrose bungalows now serve as offices for Hollywood Bowl related organizations and the front lawn with a dozen picnic tables serves as a lovely location to sit down to a a picnic and bottle of wine before your performance.

A gem in the Heart of Hollywood. Great dog walking, book reading, pre-Bowl picnic, and the Parks Dept is great about renting out space for a private party!

I,m here right now with a beautiful woman . No dogs. I was very disappointed to see that there were no dogs at what SHOULD be a peak dog hour . The Ground has a lot of lose dirt which makes it easy to get dirt in you're shoes. Still, The park itself is scenic and peaceful... BUT WHERE ARE THE DOGS?

Cute park. Walking distance for my pup and me. Very pretty with ample shade and places to sit and relax or read. Downsides include that it's really busy on Hollywood Bowl nights and there's no parking at busy times if you can't walk. Also, the times I've visited there have been homeless men, which would have made me uncomfortable as a woman by herself if it were close to dusk or if I were completely alone. The park does make you feel isolated even though you're right next to Highland, so I would bring a friend and not necessarily visit solo. It does seem to be in good condition, with trash regularly picked up, and a few other dogs. It's a nice spot in the middle of the hustle and bustle.

Who knew this little place even existed?!? Was invited here for a special event before a Hollywood Bowl show and it's Hollywood's own little secret garden. Not sure if it's open to the public before most shows, but if it is, this is where you should be picnicing before heading in for a concert. There's plenty of grass and picnic tables to lounge on and it's a much easier place to meet the rest of your party than inside the bowl if you don't already have all your tickets!

After reading the previous reviews I thought this would be a perfect local place to let my dog run around and enjoy the sun. Unfortunately, the park that once was is no longer. The park looked as if it had not been maintained for a few months; dead plants, barely any grass, and garbages overflowing with trash. There were some homeless people sleeping in the shade which was not a big deal. There were about two different groups of homeless there as well. One group passing around a bottle of liquor and the other group was passing around a jay and who knows what else. In all, this park was a huge letdown and I don't think I'll be visiting here again.

This is a really nice place. It's in n extremely busy area of Hollywood but it's super lowkey and cute. I had no idea I was there until my friend packed a picnic before out show at the Hollywood Bowl. I had never been to that venue before so I thought we were having a picnic on the venue, which you sort of can, but I was pleasantly surprised when we stopped in this charming picnic area. Super nice, would be awesome to just have a nice afternoon out it a party, or baby shower or whatever.

dinky park with no parking. there is barely enough room to run around with my small dog. there are plenty of picnic benches and garbage can everywhere which is good. seems to be more of a social gathering park than it is a park you would want to bring your dog. also located here is the sheriffs department.

Let's be clear. This is NOT a dog park. Those of us that live on Camrose bring out dogs here, have been for years, and the recent influx of people assuming this is a dog park, not cleaning up after their pets, bringing unruly dogs in, etc has risked it for all of us. If you're going to bring your pet here please be mindful.
