#Los Angeles park

Ord & Yale Street Park, 524 Ord St, Los Angeles (Chinatown), CA 90012

The Ord & York pocket park opened in late 2021. It’s a gorgeous park on the edge of Chinatown, next to the Chinatown Public Library. Vagrants have always hung out in that area and they’re at the park now. Even worse, there’s graffiti all over the restrooms and picnic area. I’d be afraid to use the restroom. I heard someone yelling in there. A homeless person was sleeping in the playground and there wasn’t one child using the playground. In fact, the only people in the park were homeless. No one was using the picnic and game tables and someone left trash on the tables.

But the park is still very pretty and has a red entrance that looks Chinese. It’s half an acre and on a hillside. There are viewing platforms and exercise equipment, plus decorated stairs with inspiring messages. The landscaping, plants, trees, and waterfall still look nice. There’s a mix of trees from Asian and native plants.

I fear that in a few years, the park is going to be completely trashed.

Going through my dark and brooding era. Is pleinair painting cooler if you make it spooky? I hope the answer is yes. Here are 10 of my 15 nocturne paintings I showed at SITTING OUTSIDE 2, a pleinair painting show in Los Angeles that I curated. I did all nocturnes for the show this year. Hoping to keep that going.
