Friends of the Hollywood Central Park
Construction of a cap park over the US 101, as the freeway travels below grade in Hollywood. The Hollywood Central Park now in development creates a 38-acre much-needed street level park in one of the park poorest communities in California. The project reconnects neighborhoods which have been separated for nearly 70 years by the freeway.

Inspiring the community to be curious about what they can do to become the architects of their own healthy environmental future. Through an innovative talking show-and-tell project we will tell a story about what happens when green space, trees and park access are an accepted and natural part of community life. It’s not always about what we get out of doing something. Instead, it can be about how something makes us feel while doing it.

Hollywood Central Park proves that LA is the Best Place to Play
Our proposal is to hold a design competition for LA-based architects and landscape designers to create an iconic design for the Hollywood Central Park. The goal is to create a 38-acre urban park that caps the Hollywood Freeway, and serves diverse, dense and disadvantaged communities separated for more than 60 years by the freeway. It should be a park that could exist only in Hollywood and is intrinsic to Los Angeles. It must connect the surrounding communities through innovative design.
