Grand Hope Park

“Nice chill park, not much homeless when i went and a lot of shade. Nice park to relax for a bit”

“Beautiful park with kids playground & workout station, connected to the ASU FIDM campus & an apartment complex. I wish they allowed dogs, since it’s one of the few grassy areas downtown, but since it’s a private park it’s no dogs allowed. No public restrooms.”

“It’s a sprawling park with grassy areas, plenty of benches beneath stone pillars and plant awnings with flowers wrapped around the sides. Playground seems typical though I haven’t explored it. It’s kept very clean. Even on a Sunday at 1:20pm there’s a maintenance man walking the property. Quiet, only the hum of the main street and occasional sirens. Apt complexes and art buildings surround the park. There is shade to be found even on a 95 degree afternoon. Tomorrow is Labor Day (#unionlove) and would be interesting to see how the park is utilized for larger crowds. It certainly has the space to accommodate several hundred people at once! DTLA isn’t very green so swing by this park to get a break from all the ugly garbage filled streets and sidewalks that LA refuses to clean up (you’ll be hard pressed to find garbage cans around this city At All. But in this park I see four within direct eyesight. Some only 20 feet away from one another. So as an aside if you can’t find a garage can for blocks, check out the parks.”
