]
Running approximately 20 miles (32 km) from Van Nuys Boulevard in
Sherman Oaks
to
Figueroa Street
and
San Fernando Road
In
Cypress Park
, it is one of the major thoroughfares in the
San Fernando Valley
. It runs through the heart of the Valley and is home to many of Southern California's major entertainment companies, passing both the
Warner Bros.
and
Walt Disney Studios
in
Burbank
. Then it enters West
Glendale
and continues as a major thoroughfare until it intersects with Victory Boulevard and Sonora Avenue. It then continues as the major thoroughfare through
Griffith Park
, though its name changes as it passes through the park, first to Zoo Drive, then Crystal Springs Drive, and then Griffith Park Drive, before becoming Riverside Drive again as it leaves the park at its southeastern boundary. Riverside Drive then continues east and south along the Los Angeles River, passing just north of the Silver Lake Reservoir. It runs along the northern edge of
Elysian Park
, passing north of
Dodger Stadium
before becoming
Figueroa Street
at a roundabout with San Fernando Road just north of the confluence of Arroyo Seco and the Los Angeles River.
