ABOUT THE PARK:

Los Angeles State Historic Park is located at 1245 N. Spring Street, Los Angeles CA, 90012. The park is open to the public from 8:00am to sunset, 7 days a week. A California State Park, LASHP also figures prominently in revitalization of the Los Angeles River with a plan for native wetland habitat on the site and a future physical connection to the River. Coupled with efforts to connect with other green spaces of urban Los Angeles through a series of bike paths and pedestrian walkways, LASHP is, as it has always been, a gateway – in the 21st century to a greener and newly imagined urban Los Angeles.
