Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust Maywood Riverfront Park

Maywood Riverfront Park, situated in the dense city of Maywood, serves as a vital community space lacking in the area. The park renovation project, a partnership between multiple organizations and community members, aims to enhance activities, sustainability, and amenities, with input gathered through extensive engagement meetings and focus groups. As one of the largest parks in the city and adjacent to the LA River, it presents opportunities for stormwater capture to support water quality efforts in the Lower LA River. The project also includes a Sleepy Lagoon Memorial, emphasizing the historical and cultural significance of the area and commemorating a pivotal event in the region’s history.
