Description
Photograph of palm trees in Eastlake Park (later Lincoln Park), [s.d.]. About four park benches are situated between two palms a few yards away. The benches, three of them facing one, are spaced out to allow a walkway between them. The ground appears to be dry and littered with a few scattered leaves. Patches of grass (or weed?) sparsely cover the ground. Other trees are visible in the background. "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.
