Elysian Park

Situated in the hills above the intersection of the Golden State and Pasadena freeways near Dodger Stadium

A 575-acre retreat from urban angst, the park’s hilly acreage is an undeveloped remnant of the original 17,172-acre Spanish land grant from which Pueblo de Los Angeles grew. The park’s grassy knolls are surrounded by a mixture of eucalyptus, walnut, oak, pine and palm trees.
