Wattles Mansion and Gardens

Built in 1907 and declared a Historic Cultural Monument in 1993, Wattles Mansion & Gardens is a true L.A. gem. It has a farm, park, gardens, and large green areas to bask in the sun, picnic, or get your exercise in (it's a yogi favorite). It also has connecting trails to neighboring Runyon Canyon. And like most places in L.A. it's made appearances on the small & big screens. "Ghoulies," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and "The OC" - to name a few.
