Golden Age Park is located in the densely packed downtown Los Angeles neighborhood of Westlake. With virtually zero space to create a park or garden, Golden Age Park sat as an empty lot for nearly 30 years. In 2017, the park came to life when the Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust partnered with community members to make it happen. Now, Golden Age Park serves as California’s first intergenerational park and serves the over 35,000 residents who live within a 10-minute walk.
