Los Angeles, California - Old LA Zoo Ruins Ruins of the old Griffith Park Zoo. Many of the surviving structures were built in the 1930s before being abandoned when the zoo moved to a new location in the 60s.
This one is not visible from the old zoo picnic area. Actually, according to the sign at the Griffith Park visitors center, the zoo used to encompass parts of what is now the picnic area. Their picture shows some animal pens there.
These cages are actually behind an old zoo building, in what appears to have been the behind-the-scenes area. [ADalton, 05/28/2009]

Los Angeles, California - Abandoned Zoo Monkey Habitat In the hills of Griffith Park, there is an old abandoned monkey habitat and various cages. The habitats have been transformed into little picnic areas with bbq's and benches. If you hike further up behind the habitats, there are some creepy old cages that are open and even a monkey house (but it's pretty dirty and seedy -- might want to keep the kids away from it). There's a plaque on the outside of one of the cages that explains it's part of the old Los Angeles Zoo. [Pamela, 02/23/2006][RA: May 2009 - Photo added.]
