It’s amazing what a little lateral thinking and a few plants can do to a dusty car park. Just a few years ago, Tongva Park was just that – a boring asphalt parking lot. After a phenomenal transformation, Tongva Park is now a 6-acre urban oasis where Santa Monica locals can spend enjoyable outdoor hours. The park is divided into 4 areas, namely Discovery Hill, Garden Hill, Gathering Hill and Observation Hill and encompasses a children’s play area with splash pad, a natural amphitheatre, long winding pathways, beautiful gardens and shaded picnic areas. The entire park also benefits from free Wi-Fi and is easily accessible by public transport.
