Los Angeles State Historic Park is a 32 acre state park within the Chinatown neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Also known as the Cornfield, the former brownfield consists of a long open space between Spring Street and the tracks of the Metro Gold Line. Take the Gold Line train and get off at the Chinatown stop.
There probably is no other state park in California that can be so easily reached via rail transit — the Gold Line’s Chinatown Station is a short stroll from the park. There’s also a Metro Bike Share dock at Chinatown Station so you could conceivably go zero-carbon and pedal your way over. Bicycles are also allowed in the park, should you wish to bike all the way in. Just be sure to stay on the trail!
On the 22nd, head to the park at 10 a.m. to participate in opening festivities! The free, day-long celebration will include family-friendly activities, food trucks and musical performances by Grammy Award-winning QUETZAL, MILCK , Subsuelo and more.
And of course, you’ll be able to check out the new features of this beautiful urban green space: there’s a welcome center with restrooms, a snack bar called Cargo that’s made of recycled shipping containers, the Roundhouse Bridge and Overlook that provides a nice view of DTLA, hillsides covered with California poppies and goldfields, and an orange grove where you are encouraged to pick and enjoy the fruit. Not bad for a former freight rail yard. This is a flat park. There are no hills.

Elysian Park is the city’s oldest public park and, at 575-acres, the second largest after Griffith Park. It is home to numerous historic sites, including the Los Angeles Police Academy and Barlow Hospital, that are linked by miles of walking trails.
This park is located next to Echo Park and Chinatown and is often frequented by picnickers. Just be aware, it's very hilly.
