Play the L.A. River is a come-one-come-all project by the arts collective Project 51 -- a collective of L.A. River-loving artists, designers, planners, writers, educators -- that invites Angelenos to explore, enjoy, reclaim, and reimagine the mighty L.A. River as a grand civic space that can green and connect our communities.

CARD: Ace of Downtown

SITE: 475 San Fernando Road, Los Angeles, CA 90031

The original water source for the pueblo! Can you believe THIS spot is why L.A. even exists? Can you imagine the eventual history-themed park?

While the under-utilized Confluence Park is currently sandwiched between freeways, there are plans for a fully-realized park that will encompass "a series of open space with outdoor classrooms, pedestrian and bike paths, and a restored riparian system." Students and organizations have envisioned a similarly vast park for the area, and the recent announcement of a$1 billion plan to restore the L.A. River have included renderings for yet another park here. The importance of this location is well understood by many river stakeholders -- the question is, when and how will this space be developed into a beautiful public space that we all deserve?
