Restoration Underway For Griffith Park's 1920s-Era Fern Dell Tourist Attraction

Curbed Los Angeles

It's fallen on hard times, but for decades, the Fern Dell garden in Griffith Park (by the Trails restaurant) was a major attraction: "Starlets and health-seekers lined up in the 1920s to fill jugs from the spring that fed this 20-acre fantasia of ferns, footpaths and picturesque bridges. They thought it was a fountain of youth," as the LA Times puts it.
