This bear cub statue was "presented to our sister city, Los Angeles by the people of free Berlin." Although it's uncertain when it was installed here, it seems to have been made by Renee Sintenis, a German sculptor and graphic artist from Berlin. (An identical baby bear can be seen on Berliner Allee in Düsseldorf-Friedrichstadt, Germany.) You can see the bear statue on the corner of Los Feliz Blvd. and Fern Dell Dr. at the start of the Fern Dell nature trail.

Located at the end of the kid-friendly Fern Dell Trail, this towering nature-inspired playground was recently refurbished\. Designed for kids ages 2 to 12 years old, it's fully equipped with five slides \(including three that are 8 ft\. high!\), plus a rope ladder, climbing rocks, tree stumps, lily pad ladder and more\. For some reason, the playground hasn't yet made it onto Griffith Park's official map or the LA Parks website, but trust us, it's there!
