Exterior view of the beautiful and elaborate conservatories located at Lincoln Park. These greenhouses housed all kinds of plants, from common to exotic, for use in this park as well as for other city parks. At one time, John D. Rockefeller presented a rare orchid collection that was housed at Lincoln Park. In 1874 the City of Los Angeles purchased the 46 acres making up this park. Originally called East Los Angeles Park, it was renamed Eastlake Park in 1901, and in 1917, the City Council responded to a petition from nearby residents and renamed it Lincoln Park; renamed after Lincoln High School.
