Los Angeles River Tour

ELYSIAN VALLEY GATEWAY PARK

The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy received funding from the 1992 Los Angeles County Safe Neighborhood Parks Proposition to acquire and develop a parcel of land adjacent to the Los Angeles River in Elysian Valley. Formerly, a dilapidated house sat on the property, which is now the park. The pocket park is landscaped with native vegetation and is regularly used by local residents and by Friends of the Los Angeles River for educational River programs.
