Grand Hope Park

Grand Hope Park is an urban park in the South Park District shaped by gardens, walking paths, and recreational areas within a designed landscape. The layout creates distinct zones where you can stroll and rest, located right beside the Los Angeles Convention Center.

The park was completed in 1993 and marked a turning point for the city, as it was the first newly built green space in Downtown Los Angeles since 1870. This project showed the city's commitment to creating modern public spaces in its center.

Artworks by local and international artists fill the park with mosaics and sculptures that you discover while walking through the space. These pieces define the character of the place and draw people who enjoy encountering art outdoors.

You can enter from multiple sides through surrounding streets, with public transportation stops and parking facilities nearby. Visit in the morning or late afternoon when temperatures are more comfortable and the space feels less crowded.

A clock tower in the park plays different musical compositions every hour from three separate composers, creating an unexpected musical layer to the space. Many visitors walk past without noticing this sound feature, though it marks the passing of time in a distinctive way.
