"Unfortunately, Los Angeles--a great city by most definitions--has no important downtown park. Griffith Park meets many needs, but it's not in the center of the city. The Cornfield, north of Chinatown, is also removed from the action (and mostly not off the drawing board). The public space that links downtown's civic center buildings may get a polish as part of the Grand Avenue project, but it's tucked away, hemmed in by government buildings. None of these alone is the great, open-air city gathering place that L.A. needs.
"It is time for something bold and visionary."
Vaughan Davies in the Los Angeles Times makes a proposal.
