Red Car River Park
Atwater Village, Open Space and the Environment
The Los Angeles River and the historic 'Red Car' Pacific Electric Railway converged many years ago in Atwater Village. On Monday afternoon I joined Friends of Atwater Village to reclaim the open space where the tracks crossed the river for a pocket park by Glendale and Ferncroft. In doing so we also reclaimed an important piece of L.A.'s history. The Red Car River Park overlooks the green Glendale Narrows, the soft-bottomed section of the river. I invite all Atwater Village residents, neighbors, and passers-through to come pass the time down by the river at the park. (You can also check out the gorgeous blue heron mural.)
