Go 4th DTLA
In preparation for tomorrow’s 4th of July Block Party, Grand Park’s Social Media Ninja, Javier Guillen, has continued the ongoing #gentedegrandpark series, asking people to share their 4th of July memories.

The Plant Life of Grand Park: Designers Talk Their Favorites

¡TACO GLADNESS!
This past Saturday, Taco Gladness was achieved. Legions of taco lovers came out to the park on a stunningly beautiful day to enjoy the fares of nearly a dozen of the finest taco purveyors.
