Play the L.A. River is a come-one-come-all project by the arts collective Project 51 -- a collective of L.A. River-loving artists, designers, planners, writers, educators -- that invites Angelenos to explore, enjoy, reclaim, and reimagine the mighty L.A. River as a grand civic space that can green and connect our communities.

SITE: Avenue 19 + Humboldt Street, Los Angeles, CA 90031

What happens when a street-end becomes a street haven that filters and cleans our stormwater? This park! Imagine one on every dead-end river street.

On Sunday, October 26, 2014, as part of Play the L.A. River's year of riverside programming, Pieter Performance Space presents a day of dance and performance at Ed Reyes River Greenw. Pieter is commissioning site-responsive choreographed works, improvisations, interactive happenings, and a free community yoga class, to be presented as part of an afternoon of riverside art. More information here.

If you're lucky, you can find this greenway (not park) open. If you do, go in, walk round and marvel at the fact that you're in the middle of an industrial zone, but encased in this patch of green. The Greenway's a marvelous example of how water gets cleaned unobstrusively. I'd read the little helpful signage and learn all about water quality projects and how this is probably one of the coolest ones to pop up in town. --Carren Jao, write
