North Atwater Park
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.

A new addition to a city park gives us ravines for rambling, a restored creek, and big pipes you can crawl around in. River rehab at its best.
This small park, with volleyball and basketball courts, a baseball diamond, and a children's play area, will soon be connected to Griffith Park via a pedestrian, biking, and equestrian bridge, LaKretz Crossing. This will not only allow bikers and pedestrians to easily cross the river, it will also make it easy for horses from the number or stables in the North Atwater area to get to the open trails across the river and the freeway. Meanwhile, people can enjoy the restored natural creek and learn how the park captures polluted stormwater runoff flowing from the urban residential neighborhoods around the park.
How do you play the L.A. River at North Atwater Park? Tell us here.
