Three of the major landmarks in Los Feliz are contained within the fourth. Griffith Park was a condition of Mr. Griffith leaving the land to the city as, in his own words he said "It must be made a place of recreation and rest for the masses, a resort for the rank and file, for the plain people.

One of those landmarks is the Greek Amphitheater, which was built as designed by Griffith, and has 5.874 seats. It is a venue for all types of concerts and some theater productions, and has won multiple awards.
