Burbank

Outdoor Exploration

Need a break from the big-city hustle and bustle? Head to one of Burbank’s many beautiful city parks. These beautifully-landscaped and maintained natural areas offer a wealth of amenities, such as sports fields and courts, playgrounds, outdoor pools, skate parks, and miles of walking, hiking, and biking paths throughout the city. There’s even public golf at the DeBell Municipal Golf Course. The city also provides several aquatic facilities and recreation centers, both of which offer a variety of sports and fitness programs for all ages.

And for those who really want to get away and experience the great outdoors, it's just a short drive to the Verdugo Mountains and recreational areas such as Wildwood Canyon Park, Verdugo Mountain Park, and La Tuna Canyon Park.

Local Education

The public Burbank Unified School District and the many private schools of Burbank are excellent, with national testing scores that continually rank above the state and national average. Burbank’s higher education choices include a number of colleges like Woodbury University, which has a preeminent design program. The entertainment industry supports several trade schools in Burbank with focus on the makeup and beauty industry.
