Tongva Park, Urban park in Santa Monica, United States.

Tongva Park is a 6.2-acre (2.5 ha) park just south of Colorado Avenue, between Ocean Avenue and Main Street in Santa Monica. It contains an amphitheater, a playground, a garden, fountains, picnic areas and restrooms, and an overlook with views of the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica Pier.

The site was formerly a parking lot that was transformed into a public park in 2013 dedicated to the Tongva people. This conversion honored the original inhabitants of the Los Angeles region.

Tongva Park takes its name from the Tongva people, who have lived in the Los Angeles area for thousands of years. The name is carried by the park itself, dedicated on October 13, 2013, so a visitor reads the people's presence in the park's identity rather than in a monument.

The park sits just south of Colorado Avenue, between Ocean Avenue and Main Street, with entrances from both streets. Restrooms, picnic areas and a playground are inside; an overlook faces the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica Pier. Smoking is prohibited in all Santa Monica city parks, so leave cigarettes at home.

Two of the park's trees were moved rather than planted: the "Three Amigos," three rusty fig trees each weighing over 100 tons, were shifted 550 ft from the corner of Main Street and Olympic Drive and replanted here. A large Moreton Bay fig known as "Morty" also stands in the park.
