Park in Black Los Angeles in Los Angeles, California
A 401-acre park in the Baldwin Hills, often called LA's Central Park, built on the site of the reservoir whose 1963 collapse killed five people. It carries the name of Kenneth Hahn, the county supervisor who represented South Los Angeles for four decades and was a rare white official with deep credibility in Black LA. The park holds the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Tree Grove, the Olympic Forest planted with 140 trees for the 1984 Games, seven miles of trails, a stocked fishing lake and a Japanese garden. The ridge gives the best free view of the Los Angeles basin on the Westside.
