Grand Park is a 12-acre park located in Downtown Los Angeles for all Angelenos to enjoy.
Becoming The Park for Everyone
Gloria Molina Grand Park (Est. 2012)
A city’s urban heart is an expression of its people, its diversity, its interests, and its passions. Throughout Gloria Molina Grand Park, open spaces are available not only for casual sitting and leisurely strolling but also for civic gatherings.
Gloria Molina Grand Park has four distinct areas featuring amenities ranging from the restored historic Arthur J. Will Memorial Fountain with a wade-able membrane pool, a small intimate performance lawn, a community terrace planted with drought-tolerant specimen plants representing the diverse cultural make-up of Los Angeles itself, and a grand event lawn.
Gloria Molina Grand Park allows for a strong visual and physical connection from Grand Avenue via a series of stairs, accessible ramps and sloped walks as well as elevators to invite more pedestrians into a vibrant garden environment, a place to come together in a welcoming and distinctly urban oasis.
