Desiderio Park

Pasadena

Address: 10 N Arroyo Blvd, Pasadena, CA

One of the most Instagrammable parks in LA – cinematically sandwiched between the world-famous Colorado Street Bridge and palatial Vista del Arroyo Hotel.

Located in Pasadena, this park and playground provide photogenic views from all angels – as well as clean picnic tables, restrooms, and well-landscaped footpaths and foliage. The dramatic backdrop transports you to the movie “La La Land”, where you expect Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone to dance hand-in-hand around the corner at any moment.

Bring a picnic, book, or baby and hang out for a minute. Enjoy the pacific, antique ambiance while catching some rays.

While in the area, consider checking out the Rose Bowl Stadium, Gamble House, Kidspace Children’s Museum, Norton Simon Museum, Wrigley Mansion, Langham Pasadena Hotel, and “Father of the Bride” House.
