CA-105 Location: Griffith Park, 4730 Crystal Springs Drive, Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California. Latitude: 34.133970 Longitude: -118.288494 (center of picnic area, iTouchMaps.com) Griffith Park is a 4,310 acre, Los Angeles city park in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles, California. The park is located 6 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains. The north and east borders of the park are adjacent to the 134 Freeway (Ventura), and the 5 Freeway (Golden State). The south border is Los Feliz Boulevard, but including the Municipal Plunge and playground, south of the boulevard, and to the west are the residences of the Los Feliz and the Hollywood Hills areas. Significance: Griffith Park is Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument No. 942, adopted on January 27, 2009. Colonel Griffith J. Griffith donated the 3,015-acre property to the City of Los Angeles in 1896, and still it remains the largest private land gift for Los Angeles, and has mostly an untouched landscape in the center of an urban metropolis. Large portions of this landscape appear to retain integrity dating back to the period of native American land use. Within the park are some of the city’s most iconic treasures – Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood Sign, also Historic Cultural Monuments, as well as the Feliz Adobe, and a Gabrielino Indian site.1 Griffith Park Zoo (Old Zoo) was built in 1913, and is “inset at the north-facing base of hills forming Spring Canyon, below Old Zoo Trail.”2 The zoo closed in 1966 with the opening of the Los Angeles Zoo.

  • A SCOTTISH GOLF PIONEER DEVELOPS the WEST in AMERICA by Dean Knuth William Watson Circa 1920 at Age 60 William Watson Was An
    A SCOTTISH GOLF PIONEER DEVELOPS THE WEST IN AMERICA GOLF COURSE ARCHITECT WILLIAM WATSON 1860-1941 By Dean Knuth William Watson Circa 1920 at age 60 William Watson was an early pioneer in golf course architecture who immigrated from Fife, Scotland to America in 1898. In a successful career he had designed more than 100 golf courses by his retirement in 1929 when the Great Depression began. Many golfers know of Donald Ross and Alister Mackenzie but haven’t heard of Watson, yet many of his courses have survived close to a century or more. Minikahda Club in Minnesota was his first U.S. design and also his first job as head golf professional. He was prolific and a success in California. A number of his other best-known designs have hosted major USGA and PGA National Championships, including Harding Park, San Diego Country Club, the original Brentwood Country Club, Diablo Country Club, Berkeley Country Club and Orinda Country Club. He designed the original The Olympic Club Lake and Ocean courses plus many others which unfortunately did not survive housing developments on land that became more valuable as America grew. He was guided by the primary goal of maintaining naturalness in his designs. Watson wrote:, “A good rule is to stress the importance of fitting in all grading work to harmonize with the surrounding territory, mounds, slopes, grassy hollows, sand pits, all have their values in beautifying the setting of our greens and in giving them distinctive definition — if artificially arranged without appearance of artificiality.” He also believed that a course is more interesting if every green has a character all its own, giving the player something besides the flag to view in approaching the hole.
