I think the pony rides were where the Beverly Center is. I was just remembering that because I'm watching the Sex and the City movie which stars Sarah Jessica Parker.

I think it was Ponyland to which I went.

Video here -- Alison Martino of Vintage L.A. makes an appearance:

That was cool back when we had a more open city and developers didn't want to over-develop the whole thing.

And you just naturally connect sex and ponies? ... or SJP and ponies? ... or SJP with both sex and ponies?

Griffith Park’s beloved and historic pony ride will close for good in the coming weeks, after more than 70 years in operation.

Griffith Park Pony Rides, which opened in 1948 and also features a petting zoo, will shutter Dec. 21, owner Steve Weeks announced Sunday on Facebook. Weeks said that the city of Los Angeles decided not to renew his business’ contract.

“In the days ahead I will be attempting to find forever homes for our many ponies,” Weeks wrote on Facebook. “I am determined to find homes for our ponies with qualified horse-people who will care as much about our ponies as I do.”

The pony rides have been under scrutiny in recent years by animal welfare activists who claimed that horses at the facility are overworked. Last year, the Los Angeles Alliance for Animals called for a citywide ban on commercial pony rides.
