Los Angeles State Historic Park, commonly referred to as the Cornfield, is a state park located within Los Angeles' Chinatown neighborhood near Elysian Park. The park is located at the former River Station of the Southern Pacific Transportation Company, which was known as the Ellis Island of the West Coast throughout the late 19th century. In 2001, a 32-acre section of the former station was preserved for its historic significance, nicknamed for the deposits of corn crop leaked from train cars. The park was officially opened to the public in 2006, preserving a five-foot section of the Zanja Madre irrigation canal. Outdoor recreation opportunities are offered, including space for running, biking, and day-use picnics. Planned future developments at the park include a public restaurant, themed gardens, and an ecology center.
