Brand Park something for everyone!

If you live in Glendale and have never visited Brand Park, you are really missing out. There is a lot of history associated with the main building as it is a mansion that was owned by the prominent family of Glendale and converted to a music library. Years ago I went to check out music records, now they have film (in the form of videos). However, my recent trips have been just to enjoy the park facilities adjoining the library. Be sure to see the Doctor’s House (check as the hours are limited), a house from the Victorian era and the Japanese Tea House. During Jan. or Feb. the city of Glendale usually brings in tons of snow for the kids to play in. Also, there are trails behind the library where you can hike or mountain bike. In addition, there are meeting rooms that you can rent for an event. Bottom line…there is something for everyone!
