Following the completion of the $588 million Sixth Street Viaduct in Summer of 2022, the largest bridge project in the history of Los Angeles, the Bureau of Engineering began to construct the new Sixth Street PARC (Park, Arts and River Connectivity) underneath the viaduct.
The PARC will be 12 acres of new open and recreational space that spans both sides of the LA River, with sections in Boyle Heights and the Arts District.
The PARC is scheduled to be completed in 2026. It will include soccer fields, trees and walking paths, the Leonard Hill Arts Plaza (made possible by a donation of the Len Hill Foundation), an amphitheater, restrooms, dog park, skate board elements, playing courts and much more.
The design of the PARC was created through an extensive community engagement process attended by hundreds of area residents.
