Before MacArthur Park was named after General Douglas MacArthur, it was known as Westlake Park and what a beauty it was! The city of Los Angeles has been working on restoring this green space, over the last few years, after having been neglected for so long. If you take Wilshire Boulevard to downtown LA you will drive right through it. It would be nice to have that boathouse back!
Thank you Craig for the postcard image.
