Griffith Park

Griffith Park, the large hillside park above Los Feliz, has been Los Angeles's best-known outdoor gay cruising area since at least the 1960s, mostly on the trails and wooded slopes away from the main attractions. Activity is daytime and low-key, and it changes as areas are cleared or patrolled. It's public parkland used by hikers and families, and rangers and police patrol it. Public sex is illegal under California law, and people have been cited and arrested here. Keep it discreet, respect other park users, don't leave valuables in your car, and leave before dark. The hiking and city views are a good reason to come anyway.
