But that park was sparking clean according to mayor basura
PSA is you are walking around Mac Park just watch where you step because there are hypodermic needles on the grass and they can cause injury and infection if you step on one.
MacArthur Park (originally known as Westlake Park) was once one of the most outstanding and popular public spaces in Los Angeles. Established in the 1880s on the city's western edge, it flourished for decades as an opulent urban oasis. And now we have THIS kind of society.
Rampart is the worst
