I’m a little slow on discovering places like this, but we recently have become drawn to the LA River Center & Garden - a little oasis/park and cultural center with gardens and fountains, that is located near where the LA river passes under the 5 & 110 freeways, and is directly behind the big Home Depot there.In the city, or at least in East LA, shady parks and quiet places are at a premium, so this series of parks & quiet places are a welcome discovery.
