Great spot for a photo shoot! I loved walking around and how quiet it was. I forgot I was in Brooklyn for a bit!

As a landscape architect, I thoroughly enjoyed the park. We rode the ring road and then walked around. Olmsted's work stands the test of time and it is evident through the many people that enjoy it. That is what being a L.A. is all about.

Beautiful place to have a picnic especially during summer, less crowded than central park and definitely a better less crowded park.
