Still beautiful and not crowded (at least on the day I went) the Brand library/art gallery were closed due to Covid, but the Japanese Tea Garden was open (not the tea shop of course). Pleasant place to hang out, relax, get some sun and fresh air. Koi pond was full of multi-colored koi fish, so cute!

This park is gorgeous. It offers tons of things to do. My niece and I did the Seven Trees hiking trail and the views were very pretty. On the way back we decided to check the Japanese Tea House and the Doctors house.Plenty of parking available (we got there at 8:30am).Ill definitely go back.

Like their trails. Great small japanese tea house area, but its hours are limited.

Although most of the park was closed, we had a good time. I went home and looked up Dr. Brand... fascinating! Cant wait to go again when the house, library, etc is open.

It was lovely, a colleague and I went hiking in of the many trails and it was wonderful. The view from the top of the mountain was spectacular.

Its a park, library, historic location, and a teahouse. Its a very nice location to have family picnic. Please be advised that you need persmission to take photograph and filming inside the park.

Open areas and picnic tables. Lots of parking and easy access to trails and other facilities. Mandatory masks are still to be worn in the park but the trails are open. Come early to beat the crowds.

Beautiful huge park. Very spacious and well kept. Didnt see trash laying around and felt safe.

Very pleasant park with numerous areas under trees, some picnic tables, one area with a childrens playground and soccer and baseball fields. Lots of room to roam.

Very nice park with many different trails for all skill levels. Went up the Seven Trees Trail. Was much more challenging than I expected, especially the final incline to the top lookout point. I didnt use any walking sticks, but most people had them and they wouldve definitely helped on the final incline. There are many different lookout points, places to take pictures, and just to rest. The inclines vary, but for the most part its a steady climb. The views take your mind off the efforts.

A place were kids are running around happy, an awesome musuem (temp closed) and a great place to start a fantastic hike .

Awesome public park with great views of the valley. Dogs are allowed on-leash and there are a number of excellent trails to walk them on. There is also a fairly large playground for tiny humans to play on. A decent amount of off-street parking is available as well.

A beautiful park! Huge! Has tables to eat, lots of grass with lots of shade, baseball diamond, a japanese tea house, a library, and a play yard. Best part is towards the back end of the park are trails to hike up a huge mountain top. Beautiful view of the valley from the top. A MUST SEE!

The trails out back are peasant, and give good views when the air is good.

Beautiful, clean, spacious park with lots of benches.Great place for lunch with the family!

Great for hanging out with the family. Bring qyour picnic baskets!

Nice view,fresh air ang good relaxing.but its a place that only few people visit.

Best hike in the locality. Be sure to fill your bottles. Frequent non venomous snake sightings.

My favorite LA park. The hiking is excellent and varied. Plenty of shade trees and BBQ pits. It features a public bathroom that is usually stocked if a bit barren. The Arts & Media library is a beautiful historical building thats a piece of art in its own right.

I love this park! It is clean, beautiful, nature.. I love hiking with my friends or alone, but always after hiking I love have a my cup of morning coffee under the tree before I drive home. There are many picnic tables also

Ive lived in Glendale for 20+ years and barely realized there were so many awesome hiking trails at Brand Park! There are several options with some being very steep but definitely worth the climb on a clear day. I came across a snake while on my hike so be careful!

Awesome Library! Beautiful views of downtown LA

Beautiful park..reminds me of Berkeley and Oakland, where I grew up.

Not too many folks, easy to pull up a bit of grass for yourself or a small group and easily social distance.

Lovely, the Japanese garden is particularly nice, good hiking trails too.

Beautiful trails, even though some were recently widened by some tractor equipment (probably for fire prevention) and are quite soft, which made it harder to go up and down. But the views are worth going. There are also water fountains near the entrance to trails, Doctors house nearby, and a beautiful library.

This place is awesome for a casual hike.

I found this park a little too noisy and crowded for my liking. I went on a Monday evening and couldnt even find parking. Its a beautiful park, but LA has lots of nice parks that are more relaxing.

This park is a gem located along the foothills of Glendale. A library is in the center and its surrounded by a play field, picnic areas and various grassy areas to relax in. Theres also a Japanese garden area right next to it. In addition, there are hiking trails behind the library. If you want a quick getaway into nature, this is a go-to spot.

I love brand park. One of the toughest trails locally. Several trails to choose from. Up to 2 miles straight uphill killer leg workout. Average time 2 hours. Do bring plenty of water. Be aware of snakes

I come in on the train from out of town to visit this gem. Each time I discovered a new adventure to come back for.The library and art gallery were a sweet afternoon after a short hike. Came a second time to hike the chaparral statue trail. Well worth the trip. Third visit discovered the unexpected pyramid tomb off the riparian trail. This is a place to bring friends and family to explore.

Very beautiful, amazing view, lot of space for bbq, kids space.

The park is clean and Neat two thumbs up.

Unique park with everything from ball fields to a Japanese garden to a tea house and hiking trails. I really love when I have some extra time to stop by and enjoy all that Brand park has to offer. Its usually not too busy, and has a diverse crowd who all respect the space. The drive to the park is also gorgeous. Truly a hidden gem in the Glendale/Burbank area!

Why I like this place cuz I grew up here and lost off good memories

Nice place for a morning hike. They also have an art gallery, playground, library, baseball field, and grill area.

The park is beautiful and great history but it was packed and no one had a mask on. 5stars for the park itself 0 stars for the people

I love mountain biking the brand park trail. Its a 5 mile climb thats steep and challenging. Not for begginers.

Nice park with ample parking. lots of grassy areas for kids to run around and a nice playground (big kids and toddlers) there are restrooms, water fountains, and lots of picnic tables. many people hanging out on a saturday mid morning. there usually are dogs on leash too.

There are lots of spaces for lounging on the grass and shade. Theres also picnic tables by the library.

Milk and berries is one of my favorite cakes! Great sandwiches and plates as well

Great place to workout or have a picnic.

The place is for all familes.

Nice place to go hiking and wonderful art in music library there

Great park and hiking trail as well, nice scenic view of Glendale & Burbank once you reach the peaks

Very pretty, trails, Dr house

Clean welcoming beautiful park

Its always a great experience coming here, the Japanese garden is just beautiful....

Grew up there. Played St Dominics football@ Brand Park. Yes played my guitar Yesterday In the Park

It was a stunning and beautiful paradise.

Amazing hiking park..

The area as a whole is charming and walkable, in this park you will find places for picnic, it have a beautiful library, trails and places to walk.The park is dog friendly, and have parking lot area.There is also tea garden but with limited opening time.

Great place to bring a blanket and lie on the grass. Huge grass fields for playing with the kids as well as a playground and the wonderful library for the readers.

Great park and Library! Great hiking. Wonderful restored Victorian house, a Japanese tea house. Clean with lots of wildlife.

One of my favorite hiking trails here. Really intense. But definitely worth it

Nice hiking trail and plenty of greens for a day with family and friends

Americana at brand is really super place for relax

The hiking trails at Brand are the best in the city and it’s a perfect spot to watch the sunset.

The beautiful brand park is unmatched by any other park in Glendale. Its in a beautiful neighborhood and has lots of friendly people there. Its kept fairly clean and is definitely a really good spot for family picnics. It has large and beautiful trees that provide good shade and theres plenty of parking spot.

Coyotes? Plenty at certain times of the night. Dont recommend approaching them or leaving small dogs unattended but fascinating to see from a distance. The park is scenery is everything you should enjoy from a park in Los Angeles.

Great place for a picnic..

Clean and vibrant community feel

I love this place.

Perfect place to feel what we tend to neglect on our daily lives

Best location for spending time with your family and your friends.

Great park, Great library, amazing hiking.

Always a pleasure! Terrific recreational spot.

So glad to have discovered this park, which is actually the grounds of an estate that was willed to the city of Glendale when the owner passed away. Theres also a library in the previous home of the owner and its lovely. There is a Japanese garden on the grounds and a historic Victorian home that is open during certain times for tours. If all this isnt enough there are also hiking trails that originate here and the views are wonderful.

Very nice grounds and nice hiking trails up the hill with beautiful views.

Nice place for family and kids

2 playgrounds, 1 with a rubber surface for younger kids, the other with wood chips for older kids. Lots of shade. Plenty of open grassy space, too.

This park has picnic areas with a BBQ grill. A good place to spend some time with family.

Clean and nice scenary for taking pix

This park is the home of Glendales best library with an art gallery! Its also where a great hiking trail begins. If you want to just relax, theres plenty of picnic benches and clean grassy areas for a picnic blanket. When its open theres a tea house and friendship garden. Lots of parking, too. If you havent been, this is a must visit!

And have one of the best times can only happen there I will give more then just 5 ☆ENJOY THIS PLACE HAVE IT ALL.

Love the hiking trails

What a brilliant idea to have an outdoor concert series in Brand historic library courtyard. The setting is minimal, the jazz bands and rich cultural bands are very entertaining and educational. A family can have fun at the park and enjoy free entertainment in one visit. This series of Arts and Culture Commission program has created an opportunity for the community to experience diverse music.

Very clean and well manicured lawn. Lots of people frequent this park to take pictures, to paint the landscape or hike up brand trail. The doctors house is also nestled in the back of the park.

Nice little Japanese garden to meditate and relax.

Its calm and a happy place for me

Nice family place but theres always people who get there to smoke despite the signs that prohibit it doing so, and you never see any authority around to enforce the law.

Great park for family and friends. The Japanese garden is amazing with little pond full of fish and turtles...

Quiet and clean park with few people, and a lot of tables for BBQ and picnic

A Very Nice place for the little ones

Large green fields on the foothill and has many trails for easy hiking. Very pleasant place.

Naming it a park is such an understatement. Not only is it a beautiful park, but it is the heart and soul of Glendale with its library and gallery. You can visit the doctors house, which is a Victorian style home with a beautiful garden and Japanese guest house and pond. The main building with a Moroccan(I think) style architecture is very grand and beautiful sitting at the top of a hill.

Very nice and unusual small Park very clean has a library in the large building.The parking is very small and tight do not bring large vehicles into Park.

Love this park.

A great place for adults and kids, it has a baseball field an Aries play soccer at you can go hiking it has a library good place to have picnics at and places to explore people will come and take photo weddings here beautiful Park must see

Great views and steep inclines

Parks are family fun

Week ends a bit busy. Trails and playground will engineered. Tranquility and fresh air are therapeutic. Come early on wkends.

Brand park is always clean and the people here are super friendly. It’s always nice to enjoy something outdoors and this park is perfect for hiking!

Nice wading pool. Interesting playground. Lots of shady trees
