Description Suggest change

The Old LA Zoo, which is the remains of the original LA Zoo closed in 1966, houses some former animal enclosures primarily used as picnic areas now, but which also have some bouldering potential. As a historical landmark, it is important to respect the walls/area and leave it better than you found it. So please brush tick marks / chalk after each session. The sign in the area reads: “Please enjoy and respect the buildings, walls, and habitats you will discover today.”

Getting There Suggest change

About a 500ft walk from the parking lot for the Old LA Zoo picnic area.
