Walnut Park Pocket Park

Project Description

The Walnut Park Pocket Park project will create a new, half-acre pocket park on a vacant corner lot in the unincorporated Walnut Park neighborhood of Huntington Park, in southeast Los Angeles County. The capital project will provide the community with a colorful splash pad plaza, two shaded playgrounds, a walking path with exercise equipment, grassy play area, shaded picnic areas with barbecues, and a small park building with restrooms and Sheriff’s sub-station. Public Art Consultant Susan Grey was selected to oversee the artist selection, design, fabrication, and installation of an artwork in the underside of the security building roof overhang.
