Hollenbeck Park

Hollenbeck Park is located on the corner of Saint Louis and Fourth Streets in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, California. Some of the Park's features include a lake, picinic areas and even a skateboard park.

"Hollenbeck Park has been a lush oasis in the neighborhood since 1892. The park was named for John E. Hollenbeck, founder of First National Bank, whose widow, along with former L.A. Mayor William Workman, donated 21 acres of land. With green and rolling hills, towering palms and a man-made lake, it is one of the most beautiful spots on the East Side. In the 1950s, the Golden State Freeway was built against its western boundary(http://www.usc.edu/neighborhoods/hsc/parks/)"
