Elysian Park Arboretum — Attraction in Los Angeles

BEWARE BATHROOMS ARE NASTY!!!!!!

This park would be pretty awesome if it weren't for the horrendous state of the bathrooms. Because of LA's obsession with stopping homeless people from having a clean bathroom they do the bare minimum as far as cleanliness etc. Everyone needs to use it. The city is more concerned with keeping them dirty to discourage homeless people from using them then they are keeping them clean and nice for the regular users of the park. Bathrooms are dark and dirty. I wouldn't want my dog to use it! Horrible. If it weren't for the bathrooms I would give this...

Nice place to see a featured variety of trees with greenery within Elysian Park, apart from the urban landscape that surrounds it! Although unlike other designated arboretums, I was disappointed with the lack of signage identifying the various trees. The restrooms needed servicing before using at mid-day, as the condition was hideous. The playground was good with a perimeter fence to keep the kiddies together. I had to map out the location before arriving, otherwise the directions were vague on the correct parking lot to arrive at, if not the general Elysian Park parking...

A beautiful green public space for families and friends to gather and relax and potentially hit the local trails for great views...
