📍 Highland Park, CA
A hand-built community art park in Highland Park, LA featuring evolving mosaic installations, terraced mini trails, picnic tables, and regular programming including live music, movie nights, and art-making through La Culebra Action League.
Its an awesome spot. Ive been living on 57 and Benner for over 2 decades and this park has only gotten better as the years passed by. A special thanks to the woman who created this park and also a big thank you to the only guy who takes it upon himself to add or change things in the park for improvements. You can tell that just by speaking with him, he is passionate about this park.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with curious children aged 4 and up who enjoy discovery over structured play equipment. The mosaic trails, evolving installations, and event programming create a genuinely different outdoor experience. Bring a picnic and check event listings before visiting — Sunday community days add extra life to the space.

“What a cool little park, with bits of art scattered throughout. Surprisingly fun to explore for such a small park, with mini trails climbing up terraces. Great place to bring a little dog, or to introduce a dog to hiking! As always, and as many signs here remind you, please clean up after your dog.”

“Amazing hidden spot in the middle of the neighborhood. Local residents have done well maintaining this hand built art park. Myself and a friend, REBDUCE, were able to host a really fun event here a few months ago as well. Check for #FiveDollarArtParty presented by #ArtWaterLife 💦”

“Very charming! This cute park is a constantly evolving work of art. It’s so nice to see the love and care put into it! The picnic tables are a great spot to have lunch. I also love the big mosaic snake. A hidden gem.”
