In 1899, Exposition Park was beginning to take shape as a cultural and recreational centerpiece in Los Angeles. The park’s early development included open fields and gardens, providing a green escape for a rapidly urbanizing city. Local residents enjoyed leisurely strolls, community events, and picnics among the park’s budding landscape. Its location near the University of Southern California fostered a spirit of learning and innovation. Over the years, museums, sports facilities, and flower beds were added, transforming the park into a vibrant civic space. This early snapshot captured a key moment in the park’s evolution, offering a glimpse into LA’s dedication to green spaces.  Thank you to Historical Los Angeles USA.
