Partnership Formed to Create 100 Acres of New Park Space in Los Angeles

The "100-Acre Partnership at Taylor Yard" has been formed to coordinate and collaborate in planning the largest, continuous open space along the Los Angeles River. Specifically, this partnership involves the city of Los Angeles, California State Parks, the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA), and the public.

Three properties are included in the 100-acre unified open space:

1. The Rio de Los Angeles State Park, an existing 40-acre park owned by State Parks and managed cooperatively by State Parks and the city of Los Angeles through its Department of Recreation and Parks;
2. The Taylor Yard G1 Bowtie parcel, an 18-acre property known for its distinctive boundary shape, which is owned and managed and in the process of design by State Parks; and
3. The Taylor Yard G2 parcel, a 42-acre property that is owned by the city. The MRCA purchased and now holds the rights to develop a 12.5-acre easement within the Taylor Yard G2 parcel owned by the City.

The partnership’s first project will be an early activation river edge access project, currently called Paseo del Río. The project will stretch along both the G2 and Bowtie Parcels at Taylor Yard along the L.A. River over approximately 8 acres (about six acres on G2, and two acres on Bowtie). Together, the project will provide over one mile of contiguous riverfront public access.
