A large ethnic diversity here results in a wealth of exciting and unique attractions, activities and restaurants.

For shopping, the Glendale Galleria is home to a large assortment of shops and services, including a children's play area and an arcade. Recreation is abundant in Glendale as well, with a large number of parks that offer everything from baseball diamonds to skateboard ramps, as well as mountain hikes and nature trails that offer a scenic view of the Greater Los Angeles area.
