Pershing Square, Public park in Downtown Los Angeles, US

The park spans one square block between 5th and 6th Streets, featuring a large underground parking garage, fountains, monuments, and an amphitheater.

Initially dedicated as La Plaza Abaja in 1866, the space was renamed Pershing Square in 1918 to honor General John J. Pershing.

The square includes a Spanish-American War Memorial from 1900, recognized as one of the oldest public art pieces in Los Angeles.

The facility operates daily from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM and contains a seasonal ice skating rink, children's playgrounds, and a designated pet area.

The 1952 reconstruction excavated the entire park to create an 1800-car underground garage while maintaining the surface area for public use.
