Franklin-Ivar Park

What was once a vacant and deteriorated site, Franklin-Ivar Park was rehabilitated and turned into a small neighborhood park in a densely-populated area in Hollywood.

More like a parklette, Franklin-Ivar Park returns some of the native habitats that once thrived in this area on the slopes of the Santa Monica Mountains. The park features a variety of California native plants, a small outdoor amphitheater, a nature-themed children’s area, picnic tables, shady trees, and numerous resident and migrant bird species.

One issue with this park is that there is no on-site parking and no street parking directly adjacent to the park.
