Los Angeles State Historic Park Opens

The Los Angeles State Historic Park formally opened to the public on Saturday, September 23rd. Remarks by Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and State Parks Department officials, as well as live music and a faux train ride for children were among the festivities during the all-day opening.

The Los Angeles State Park is the 18-acre IPU, or interim use park, that will be in place until the permanent state park is built sometime in the future. Currently, three design teams are vying to be selected as park designer.

The Not A Cornfield project took place on the grounds of the Los Angeles State Park. Not A Cornfield occupied the entire acreage of the 32-acre site. Cornhendge, the Not A Cornfield metabolic monument, remains on the north end of the grounds, sprouting and verdant.
