Silver Lake Library
2411 Glendale Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90039
Sometimes a public library can offer a respite from a day of doing too much. Inside, let the kids roam and explore, and remember that whatever they want to take home, won’t cost you anything (as long as you’ve got your LAPL library card with you). The library also offers various programs and storytelling on select days and times.
Sunset Triangle Plaza
(where Griffith Park Blvd. and Sunset Blvd. meet)
Sunset Triangle Plaza is a car-free, pedestrian zone with large polka dots on the sidewalk. Wander around, grab a snack, and then sit, relax, and take a look around. Perfect place for the kids to bring a ball and have a ball. It’s also the sight of a Farmers Market every Tuesday (from 2:00 to 7:30 pm) and Saturday (9:00 am to 1:00 pm). You’ll find produce, various vendors, and an assortment of snack choices (many include vegetarian and/or gluten-free options).
