Parks and Wrecks (Local Parks)
L.A. Meekly: A Los Angeles History Podcast - A podcast by Daniel Zafran & Greg Gonzalez & the history of Los Angeles
Is there any better way to spend Valentine's Day than in a public park? Probably not because it's free. If you could not care less about Valentine's Day then you'll still love this episode on a few of the city's public parks because it's also free. We'll be covering the hilly beauty of Elysian Park (12:18), the architectural glory of the Barnsdall Art Park (47:13), the concrete "charm" of Pershing Square (1:25:55) and the man made tragedy that led to the Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area (1:57:17).
