Gloria Molina Grand Park, commonly known as Grand Park, is a 12-acre (4.9 ha) park located in the civic center of Los Angeles, California. First developed in 1966 as the 'Civic Center Mall' with plazas, fountains and a Court of Flags,[2][3] it is now a part of the larger redevelopment known as the Grand Avenue Project, with its first phase having opened in July 2012.[4] Grand Park is part of a joint venture by the city of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County. It was designed and built by the Los-Angeles–based multidisciplinary design firm Rios Clementi Hale Studios.[5] Park programming and entertainment, security and upkeep are maintained by the nearby Los Angeles Music Center.[5]
Grand Park stretches between the Los Angeles City Hall and the Los Angeles Music Center on Grand Avenue.[6] It is designed to be pedestrian friendly and connects Bunker Hill to the civic center. The park plans include tree-shaded sidewalks, drought-tolerant plants, an interactive fountain plaza, performance lawns and courtyards, plenty of street lights, movable park furniture, and kiosks to encourage the walking and exploration of the area. City officials and some visitors have compared Grand Park to other well-established urban parks such as New York's Central Park or San Francisco's Union Square.[7]
