Doan Trang | Saigon NHO The city of nearly 172,000 resident will soon have a shared community space complete with a park, a sign of the city's commitment to public well-being.
Due to Los Angeles' decline in the Trust for Public Land's national "ParkScore" rankings —from 49th place out of 100 major cities in 2020 to 88th in 2024 — the city announced this year that it would launch an equity initiative aimed at improving access to parks for low-income and racially diverse communities.
For years, South Central Los Angeles has been described as “park-poor” — a term that reflects both a lack of resources and a deeper, historic inequity. Today, that’s changing.
