This is a great place for kids ages 1 to 10. The playground has a padded rubber surface and lots of fun equipment for kids to play on. There's also a coffee shop right next door and brunch places down the street. There's cute local shopping on this strip. It's the main strip for Highland Park. You can park for free in the neighborhood spots like on Lincoln Ave.

Food Scene
Pizza! A lot of our guests ask us for a quick cheap delicious meal and this is our suggestion. The best pizza around AND they sell craft beer either by the bottle or on tap. They recently opened a patio area so you can dine in. My favorite is the deliciously garlicy White Mushroom pizza. But you can mix and match!

One of my all-time favorite coffee shops in Los Angeles. Hands down! Organic and delicious! Try the Spanish Tea Latte or English Tea Latte (my fav cause I don't drink coffee). Also the Tostada Salad or Eggs Salmone. It's also in hip DTLA with an Artists Collective for local shopping right around the corner!
