Griffith Park is a popular hiking destination in Los Angeles but few people know that in the middle of it all there's an Abandoned Pool.
The Pool was originally build in the 1920s for a girls camp, in the 1950s the camp was destroyed by a fire, not the pool however. A new boys camp was built lower on the hill, a girls camp as well but further west.
Since the pool wasn't destroyed by the fire it was still used by the new camp into the 1980s
Im glad i took the day off to go on a hike with my childhood friend and be out in nature, my happy place. As I was walking around the pool, covered in graffiti, my friend sitting on the edge of the pool with her feet dangling, i wondered how cool it would have been to have spent some summers here with her and my other childhood friends for a summer camp dipping our feet in the cool water, jumping off the diving board, learning about the parks wildlife, playing tag and doing things children do. It was still pretty nice view overlooking the city from a different POV, my hometown actually, Glendale, and how even though I've been long and far gone a force always brings me back, today was our curiosity of exploring more than just your more well known hikes in Griffith. I'm just reminiscing and blabbing now, happy hiking, see u in the trails!
