Elysian Park expansion groundbreaking ceremony

The City of LA will soon break ground for a new park located alongside Riverside Drive near Stadium way. Five acres of the 18-acre Elysian Park expansion purchase will be the first to be developed, and costing about $1,425,000 should open as early as next Spring. Some of the new features, according to the press release, include:

…a new permeable parking lot with handicap parking stalls to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance; new services and connection for water and electricity utilities; two multipurpose game courts, an open lawn area, picnic areas, children’s play area, landscape, irrigation, benches, fencing, trails with nature interpretive area and outdoor classroom, access road connecting lower and mid levels of the park, and bio-swales to capture and infiltrate on-site storm water runoffs.

Groundbreaking takes place on Tuesday, August 17 from 4-5:00 pm at 1800 Riverside Drive.

    Anyone besides me ever notice how this city treats its parks like toys after Christmas? Always so anxious to get a new park, always so lousy at taking care of the ones it already has…..check out Angel’s Point in Elysian Park sometime. I’m used to the “vacant lot” look, but is embarrassing to bring anyone from out of town to our parks. Louisville, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, San Francisco, San Diego: all these places take much better care of what they have.

    NOT that I am against new parks! It’s just that – since our city apparently considers park maintenance to be an inessential service, a generous maintenance endowment trust should be a prerequisite for any new park.
