Children frolic in artificial snow brought in to Westlake Park. Caption reads, "Los Angeles youngsters, who are accustomed to the bright sunshine of the Southland, were given a rare treat today when Junior Chamber of Commerce officials actually put snow in Westlake park. They created an artificial snowstorm with tons of opaque ice to publicize their Snow Sports Carnival on Feb. 8-9 at Big Bear Lake." Created in the 1880's under the name Westlake Park, the park was later renamed in honor of General Douglas MacArthur. Photo dated: Feb. 1, 1941.
