Great spot, open area with a good amount of picnic tables but they are spaced apart so you are not on top of the people around you. Its next to the 101 so not the quietest spot but not overly loud either.

The side away from the highway is so pretty and peaceful. Great place for a picnic of Mambos excellent Cuban food

Best place for me after riding my bike for 10 milles non stop... I now is a public Park but need just a little Maintnance.

Great place to just chill and take your dog.

My favorite place as a child to climb trees. Today my son asked to climb a tree. Here we goooooo. Thank you. 3 generations have climbed here in my family.

Very peaceful place to relax and enjoy a bit of nature, never crowded

Love going here with my daughter we love to go hiking

Had a great day walking the pup!

Very nice and quiet neighborhood park. My Toddler loved watching the horses go by and the professionals working with the horses were very kind and allowed my toddler to pet the horses. Only thing is that a lot of dogs are walked off leash so be aware if you bring a dog that is a little iffy. My dog only wanted to play!

Nice little hideaway and not to far at all.

I did not know that was Bette Davis picnic area but it was beautiful and Id been there before

This area got its name from the famous movie star with the bulging beautiful eyes who’s love of horses had her living at the large brick home at the western most side. On the eastern side of Victory Blvd, is called Pump 7 due to the capped well that is boarded up inside the wooden shack.

This is a lovely park for dog walking and taking a breather. The grass is always green and well kept, and there are lots of shade trees. It is in a narrow strip off a main road, and right next to the LA River. You can walk right over to the river and take a walk down there as well. Even when it is very hot out, somehow this park always has a cool breeze. Last winter when we had a lot of rain, the river filled and a whole family of egrets moved in and took over the park. You can also get a nice view of the sunset looking west from the park. The restroom is always clean and there are rarely any bums/homeless people there. This is a little urban treasure in the middle of the city.

Great place to go for a walk at the L.A. Riverwalk. Ducks, swans, geese and herons.

This area has an entrance to the LA river.

Easy to find, great parking, not busy, and had a bathroom

How its nice walk

Access point for the LA river.

Good place for rest. Very green, not too quiet, but if you live in LA county- it really very green place. Good place for your pets. You can spend the time with your family (friends) but this picnic area doesnt have a lot of tables... You should have yours own cover or table and chairs

Calm and quiet small park with the occasional horse strolling through

Great place to relax and bring your dogs.

Great park, love it!

Very spacious and low traffic so great for a picnic or small gathering.

Nice quiet retreat

Lots of dogs and horses.

Very beautiful

Love to walk my puppy there

Wonderful

Bettie Davis picnic Area is located in Glendale which used to be known as one of the sundown cities in Los Angeles county in the early 60s and 70s. I lived on Paula ave for nearly 5 years and saw a number of people aka weekend warriors, pot smokers and/or meth monks hung up by local Glendale cops. Bettie Davis park has a very decieving appeal it only looks like a great place to chillaxe, until the cop lights blind you and your strung up. Think twice about the Bettie Davis Park if you are not a clean cut family type. God bless all and protect all! Take care and be well.

I love eating lunch in this tranquil oasis

Great little park. We had our Scouts Carnival there and it is a very nice location. Highly recommend.

Great lunch spot

Was wet,but neat,golden leaves on the floor, From the Sycamore trees

Nice, clean

My favorite park to bring my pets on a Sunday usually pretty empty and quiet. Bring a blanket, snacks and some drinks for a nice day at the park!

Nice park

Great place to have a mini picnic a hidden Jem not too many people here

You never see them but the holes are Gopher holes uneven ground kind of treacherous especially for kids otherwise nice to relax. No homeless bums.

Quiet park and a lot of locals. Mostly more for the horse community. Close to the Equestrian Center.

One of my favorite parks in LA.

Quiet. Clean. Beautiful

Nice place to eat a quick lunch

A great little slice of a park to eat your Giamellas sandwich in.

Great for picnics and just walking the dog

Nice lunch spot

We all know as usual this place can get pretty crowded because its great pastries

Nice grass and shade, small.

Nice little park. I have been here over several times during the past 4 years to plant trees with Treepeople. We have planted over 100 trees so far! I cant wait to come back and see the trees 30-40 years from now.

Great place to take your dog for a walk during the week.

Nice I will go again

Such a perfect little place to sit under a tree and read a book.

Birds galore !!

Ok place. No area for kids to play on a swing set but great to throw the ball around.

Very pleasant neighborhood park with grass and trees.

Great place for my dog to stretch his legs when we visit Burbank.

What a trashy park! I was expecting a green park by a river and it was brown, full of trash, and homeless people. I recommend going to a different park if you want to relax

Great park

Nice, clean, quiet

A Must Do for Bette Davis fans! This beautiful park, where Bette once leisured, is a peaceful oasis amidst the hustle of Ventura Freeway.Straddled along the Los Angeles River and North of Griffith park, this park holds the tranquil beauty of green grass lawn and lowly, bent trees with stunning white trunks.The park was given in name of the Hollywood legend, Bette Davis, whom formerly resided at the West end of the park @ 1705 Rancho Ave.I visited her park in April 2014, the 1st stop of my personal All Things Bette Davis tour.A most lovely park.
