Grand Park
Los Angeles
Grand Park is a long public park in downtown Los Angeles, between City Hall and the Music Center. Opened in 2012, it was designed as a place open to everyone.
From plaza to park
As early as 1907, a landscape architect dreamed of a park on this spot. The first park arrived in 1966, with plazas, fountains and a row of flags. In 2012 the firm Rios Clementi Hale turned it into a modern, green park.
Different areas
The park is divided into areas. There is the big historic fountain, restored with a shallow pool. There is a small green space for shows and a terrace with plants from all over the world. Finally, there is a large space for events. From the path you can see City Hall on one side and the theaters on the other.
Plants from around the world
The terrace plants come from faraway countries and cope well with drought. Each one was carefully chosen by the people who designed the park.
A park that celebrates
During the year, shows and outdoor celebrations take place here. On ordinary days, people who work downtown come here to rest and grab a bite to eat. Everyone finds a favorite spot, in the sun or in the shade.
