Grand Hope Park

Awesome little park with a security that always here and closes park at 7 pm. People takes rest, have lunch and does yoga, etc. Very nice playground too. Love this park. You also can get a decent coffee at the university building that is adjacent to the park. Ralph is close also.

I walked into the park thinking it was dog friendly because I saw a man with a golden walk in and I saw another with 2 pitbulls but when I walked in, the security guard came up to me and said they don't allow dogs in there and when I looked at the man he allowed into the park he physically moved in front of me to block my view of the man. I ended up leaving and looked around the outside of the park to see if I missed any signs that said no dogs but there were none. Some ladies who saw this happen also came up to me and said they see people with dogs go there all the time. If they truly don't allow dogs then they should have signs and not pick and choose who can go in.

My husband and I recently stumbled upon this park. What a lovely oasis amidst the urban grit of Los Angeles. It's surprisingly spacious with many places to lounge. There's a playground for kids, too. If you enjoy fashion, "The Fashion Institute" borders on one side. A welcome find for us.

They have a setup bar at this park so you can do your sit-ups work on those abs and it's a great park for reading and that's also a Ralph supermarket across the street so you can get you a nice pastry nice park

It’s a sprawling park with grassy areas, plenty of benches beneath stone pillars and plant awnings with flowers wrapped around the sides. Playground seems typical though I haven’t explored it. It’s kept very clean. Even on a Sunday at 1:20pm there’s a maintenance man walking the property. Quiet, only the hum of the main street and occasional sirens. Apt complexes and art buildings surround the park. There is shade to be found even on a 95 degree afternoon. Tomorrow is Labor Day (#unionlove) and would be interesting to see how the park is utilized for larger crowds. It certainly has the space to accommodate several hundred people at once! DTLA isn’t very green so swing by this park to get a break from all the ugly garbage filled streets and sidewalks that LA refuses to clean up (you’ll be hard pressed to find garbage cans around this city At All. But in this park I see four within direct eyesight. Some only 20 feet away from one another. So as an aside if you can’t find a garage can for blocks, check out the parks.

Nice park to go to. Didn't know it was used in a movie starring Sandra Bullock. Cool. The fountain steps used in movies were drained. Guess they're cleaning it. I recommend a visit.

A really peaceful place in the middle of downtown. Very clean park with a lot of benches and lots of grass that's actually clean. Open daily, no dogs allowed or smoking and no alcohol.

Nice calm park in the middle of downtown LA. Hopefully the water fixture is fixed soon. Lots of shaded areas and tree varieties.
