MacArthur Park, created in the 1880s under the name Westlake Park, was later renamed in honor of General Douglas MacArthur. By the 1890s, it was a vacation destination surrounded by luxury hotels; in the early part of the 20th Century, the area became known as the Champs Elyse´es of Los Angeles. MacArthur Park has been designated City of Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument #100. Panoramic view showing Wilshire Boulevard running through Westlake Park.
