 | Kenneth Hahn State Park, the green space just uphill from the Village Green, is planning a makeover for “the Bowl,” the vast bowl-shaped expanse at the center of the park (31 acres) that once was a Tongva dwelling. It was also home to an unnatural disaster in 1963, when the reservoir situated there sprang a leak, resulting in catastrophic and fatal floods, affecting many properties, including ours. |
A partnership that includes California State Parks, the Baldwin Hills Conservancy, TreePeople, and the design group SWA was formed in 2018 to upgrade the area for recreation, draw out multiple uses, and incorporate the traditional use and history of this portion of the park. Some preliminary plans were laid out in a meeting early this month, which includes tree and native plant additions, a performance space, picnic areas and birdwatching lookouts.
