This is a must see park. The landscape is fab, the view of the city is even better when you take a hike in the mountains just north of the library. You simply must see this to believe it. The library is currently being renovated, however, it is one of the great wonders of Glendale, CA.

This is actually 'The Brand Library and Art Center." It's surprising that Glendale has this wonderful library. It is very heavy on the arts collection and tons of books on art, lots of movies and audio recordings. When I visit my daughter we go here and are amazed at the beautiful library building and the Japanese Garden next door. This was the home built by a very wealthy Glendale citizen, Mr. Brand, and he donated his home to the city in 1925. The library has soon cool old photos in books at the check out area that give the history of the Brands and the house. There are gorgeous decorated rooms for reading or studying or you could go outside to relax in the Japanese Garden. The Art gallery wasn't open when I was there -- I understand there is a schedule of events you can check out. There is a lot of space on this property so probably a lot more to do, too.

Definitely Arranang to tour the Doctors house, a lovingly restored 1890 Queen Ann. Beautifully done and very interesting.

The Brand Park is a great city park. The hiking trail behind the library is an awesome trail worth checking out. Baseball fields, plastic park for the kiddies. Its always jamming with people enjoying the park.

Park for free. Bathrooms, water fountain, and vending machine available. Walk up past the old doctor's house and keep going. There are scrub jays, warblers, quail, orioles, acorn woodpeckers, hummingbirds, wrens, and more. The walk is uphill, so wear good shoes.

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!

The park is very nice and has interesting places to visit, such as Doctor's House and the library. There a very few tables and they allow barbecuing so the tables go fast. There is a nice children's playground area. There is a baseball diamond.

Brand park is a lovely place, and great for photos, but it is currently under major renovations! The entire library is closed and covered in construction materials. The tea gardens are still lovely, but do need some garden maintenance, and the doctor house charges for wedding /special event photography. The improvements are set to be completed for fall of 2014, I suggest returning then!

Plenty of room for sports, picnics or to just hang out. The Library on the grounds is an attraction in itself.A few good trails of varying difficulty can be found to the left rear of the park. With good views (on clear days).

This isn't a park in the literal sense, but it does have a beautiful old mansion that now houses a library and art space.
