MacArthur Park, Urban park in Westlake district, Los Angeles, US.
MacArthur Park spans 35 acres divided by Wilshire Boulevard, featuring a natural spring-fed lake in the southern section and recreational facilities in the northern part.
Originally named Westlake Park in the 1880s, this former swampland received its current name in the 1940s to honor General Douglas MacArthur.
The park contains multiple art installations, including the Hungarian Freedom Fighters Memorial, the MacArthur Monument, and the sculpture Prometheus Bringing Fire to Earth.
The Westlake/MacArthur Park metro station provides direct access to the grounds, which include soccer fields, a recreation center, and a children's playground.
The park offers paddle boat rentals on its lake, which sits atop an artificial bottom installed during the construction of the Red Line metro in 1993.
