The pony rides at Griffith Park are coming to an end after the Department of Recreation and Parks refused to renew its agreement.
Parents and their children waited in lines to make one more memory at Griffith Park as its iconic pony ride is now at the end of its trail.
"I even said to the city, 'If you don't like my management, replace me, keep the ponies going," said Griffith Park Pony Rides owner Steve Weeks. I will give you the business, give you the ponies, right off my investment but keep it going for the kids. Unfortunately, a few protesters cost the city this wonderful asset."
