 Ascot Hills To Be the Next Great Urban Park
The State has awarded $3 million to create a 100-acre natural
urban park in the Ascot Hills in East L.A. to green one of the
most park poor areas in the region. "[I]n East L.A. itself,
the largest open space is Evergreen Cemetery, which basically sends
a message to kids: 'If you want open space, you have to die first,'" Executive
Director Robert García told the Los Angeles Times on January 15,
2004. The state funds will make the dream of a park come true through
a creative partnership between the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy
and the City of Los Angeles.
