Description
Photograph of a view of a cactus garden at Lincoln Park (formerly Eastlake Park), Los Angeles, [s.d.]. A variety of cacti can be found in the beds to the left, right of straight ahead. A footpath cuts through the left and right bed and circles around the center cacti bed. Boundaries of rocks are laid on the floor around the beds. Trees are visible in the distance. "Lincoln Park (formerly East Lake Park), which was a major tourist destination, boasts a nearby zoo and an alligator farm in addition to boating and lavish gardens in the early part of the century. Today, the park is best known as the location of Plaza de la Raza, established in 1970 in response to a city plan to demolish the historic boathouse, the organization has become the leading multidisciplinary cultural arts center for Latinos in Los Angeles." -- unknown author.
