“I grew up in L.A. and I was trying to describe Wash Park to someone out there, so I said, it’s like a beach in the middle of a city. A beach community is small and tight, and there’s always lots of activity all over the place, all of the time. The park is the big draw here and there’s so much activity going on all the time. It’s an amenity that’s really a plus for the neighborhood, just like a beach would be.” 

-Janet Lammens, Wash Park neighbor
