Preserving Place in the Heart of Los Angeles

In the heart of Los Angeles, just a short walk from Chinatown and the downtown high rises, Los Angeles State Historic Park is a living story of movement, change and community. What we see today as a vibrant urban green space has been shaped over generations by people who cared for this land — from Indigenous stewardship and early agriculture to railroads, industry and passionate community advocacy.
Choose Your Earth Day Adventure

This year’s Earth Day theme, Our Power, Our Planet, reminds us that caring for our environment is a daily journey. Every choice we make, as individuals and as communities, shapes the future of California’s lands and waters.
