Griffith Park in Los Angeles is notable for its high ecological integrity within a highly urbanized region. We present results of a 2008 bat survey conducted in the park that confirmed seven bat species, and discuss an additional three species that have been recorded incidentally nearby. On the basis of our research, the Griffith Park bat community is notable for the abundance of the canyon bat (Parastrellus hesperus), for a population of the hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus), and for the relatively minor representation of urban-adapted bats, considering its location.
