Construction of Civic Park, the first phase of the Grand Avenue Project, is well under way. The city was smart in stipulating that Related Cos, the developers of the project, prepay for the park. As you can see in the photos, it looks like a couple of the planned stages (shade structures?) are going up, one on the east end of the park, near City Hall; the other up the hill nearer the Music Center.
Plazas, a dog run and lawns are also included in the design by
Rios Clementi Hale Studios
This will be a great asset for all of Los Angeles, but I imagine we downtown residents will enjoy it most!

I'd like to see more green space created across downtown, from big parks like this one, to smaller "pocket parks", such as the planned
Spring Street Park to be located between the
Eldorado Lofts and the
Rowan Lofts. Groundbreaking is set for August. Some of the pocket parks could be much smaller and less elaborate than the planned Spring Street Park. The South Park neighborhood could use a large scale park like Civic Park. Maybe city officials could make this a stipulation for the proposed new stadium?

Civic Park will extend from Music Center at Grand Ave down
the hill to City Hall on Spring St |
