As one of the most famous cities in the world, Los Angeles is known for being glitzy, glamorous, and laid-back. Photographer Robert Testagrossa says that aside from these qualities, nature lovers will also find green spaces in the city that will help them relax. Here are some of his must-visit parks in LA.

Griffith Park: This huge northern LA park is famous among the locals. However, it's not your usual park as it has many amenities that will surely delight visitors, such as the Griffith Observatory, Greek Theatre, tennis courts, bicycle rentals, a zoo, and so much more. The 4000-acre park also has hiking trails and horseback riding trails that nature lovers will surely enjoy.

Elysian Park: Robert Testagrossa recommends the Elysian Park for those who are looking for a less crowded green space in LA. For tourists visiting the city for the first time, they'll see the popular images that people usually associate with the city, such as the palm trees and Los Angeles Valley. One of the oldest parks in LA, people can also enjoy downtown views and the famous Dodger Stadium. A park is also a popular place for those who are into running.

Echo Park: This park is a great escape from the busy life in LA. Have a picnic, ride a boat, go on a photo walk, or just admire the sights in this park. Robert Testagrossa shares that people will surely love Echo Park during the summer as its lake is usually filled with white and pink lotus flowers. Visitors can also enjoy views of the buildings in the city and even go on a mini food trip with various food trucks and eateries in the area.
