Johnny Carson Park & The Tonight Show Playground

Today we had a little errand to run in the Burbank Area so we hit up a park we've been to a couple times, the Johnny Carson Park. It's a great little park in the heart of Burbank right off the 134 freeway, next to NBC studios and St. Joseph Hospital. 

There are a lot of huge beautiful trees and green grass to run around, perfect for a soccer or football game or a picnic.  There are public bathrooms are close to the playground, which is always a plus. And there are bridges to explore and play on. There are a lot of people walking their dogs and new exercise equipment for adults plus a great walking/running path. 

Tiny little creek...but we wouldn't get in. Who knows where that water comes from...

Cool bridge to explore and play on!

Parent's Perspective

Great places to sit down in the shade and watch your kids play in the hot sun. Totally safe, not very many people on a weekday and a fun playground!

Kid's Perspective

Who cares if the playground is old? It's awesome! Plus it's different than most the other playgrounds we've visited so far so that's a big plus. Not very many people around during the weekday so kids feel like they OWN the playground!
