Preserving our park,
connecting to community
Friends of L.A. State Historic Park was formed with a singular mission: to protect and preserve the park — a green space that our communities fought nearly 30 years to bring to life — and to connect surrounding communities to the park and give community members a meaningful voice in the park’s past, present, and future.
An Existential Threat
The most immediate threat to that legacy is billionaire Frank McCourt’s gondola, an existential threat to the park that would undermine everything the surrounding neighborhoods worked so hard to achieve. California State Parks is currently taking public comments on an amendment to the park’s general plan that would allow the gondola to use park land and airspace. Please submit your own public comment on the general plan amendment by email. You can use any of the talking points we’ve provided here, but make it personal, too. Why does the park matter to you? How would a gondola change your experience of the park? And stay tuned for future opportunities to be involved in saving L.A. State Historic Park.
