Old LA Zoo Picnic Area

Concrete lion’s head and abandoned animal enclosures create a whimsical, surreal setting with faux-cave seating and scattered wildlife sculptures. The atmosphere feels slightly eerie yet inviting for family outings and peaceful reflection. Walkable paths and shaded picnic spots offer easy access and a unique backdrop for relaxation.
