Grand Hope Park

Nice calm park in the middle of downtown LA. Hopefully the water fixture is fixed soon. Lots of shaded areas and tree varieties.

It’s cute I expected more like a all day thing but the day I went was on a Sunday and they started to kick everyone out by like 6ish. Over all it’s a nice park to take a small walk they got benches to sit back and relax , I found it peaceful since the buildings can be a little overwhelming after a while you can come in and have a little distraction with some trees have a nice min to your self on the grass. They even have a little work out station for the adults while the kids play in the children’s section. I recommend if your passing by and looking to have a nice sit under a tree.

My husband and I recently stumbled upon this park. What a lovely oasis amidst the urban grit of Los Angeles. It's surprisingly spacious with many places to lounge. There's a playground for kids, too. If you enjoy fashion, "The Fashion Institute" borders on one side. A welcome find for us.

Came in, sat down, relaxed with my Coffee bean

Small and quiet park, no public restrooms. This park is conveniently located off Grand Ave and Hope, very close to fun and vibrant part of the sports and entertainment center of LA Live. It is peaceful and quiet, with some colorful status, art towers and flowers covered structures to provide some shade. It also has a famous designing and fashion institution inside of it. Therefore, there were signs saying only for students to sit areas. However, it has no public restrooms, so people can not stay long or just wash their hands. I feel that it is really not for everybody to stop and enjoy, but only for people who live close by. As a resting point, it is fine, but it is not a functional public park for everyone to enjoy.

It’s a sprawling park with grassy areas, plenty of benches beneath stone pillars and plant awnings with flowers wrapped around the sides. Playground seems typical though I haven’t explored it. It’s kept very clean. Even on a Sunday at 1:20pm there’s a maintenance man walking the property. Quiet, only the hum of the main street and occasional sirens. Apt complexes and art buildings surround the park. There is shade to be found even on a 95 degree afternoon. Tomorrow is Labor Day #unionlove and would be interesting to see how the park is utilized for larger crowds. It certainly has the space to accommodate several hundred people at once! DTLA isn’t very green so swing by this park to get a break from all the ugly garbage filled streets and sidewalks that LA refuses to clean up you’ll be hard pressed to find garbage cans around this city At All. But in this park I see four within direct eyesight. Some only 20 feet away from one another. So as an aside if you can’t find a garage can for blocks, check out the parks.

Only thing this place is missing is a water feature like a fountain or pond. It's sort of a little Shangri La in the middle of the city!

Nice, artsy park in downtown LA. -1 star because it’s not dog friendly, for some reason

A really peaceful place in the middle of downtown. Very clean park with a lot of benches and lots of grass that's actually clean. Open daily, no dogs allowed or smoking and no alcohol.

The epitome of exclusion. This beautiful and highly manicured park has a tall fence around it and it's very clear to me that it is designed for certain people and not others. Hilarious that it has dog statues and is not at all dog friendly, but it's not even that which irritates me: this is the kind of park whose users would call the cops for loitering if you know what I mean.
