2640 N Figueroa StParks & Nature
The park has recently been renovated and hosts a great little cafe that serves really good coffee and some snacks, pedal boats on the lake, good jogging loop and a playground. There is always a fresh breeze and it's great for LA people watching while you enjoy your coffee sitting on the grass under a beautiful tree.

You look at it from the garden, it's very close and there is loads to explore. It has brilliant views over Downtown and on a clear day you can even see the coast.
