it is also a hub connecting cultures, ideas, and people.


Southern California’s only civic-scale art park will enliven civic space at the LA Waterfront launching in time for the 2028 Olympic Games.

Large-scale artworks and enhanced park amenities will inspire joy and creativity for local and global visitors over 25 acres, creating an iconic cultural landmark.
