Echo Park in Los Angeles, California sits in a lively and dynamic community of a similar name. The recreation center itself gives a green space in the urban city setting, including a little lake. Consistently, the recreation center particularly hosts the Lotus Festival, highlighting different Asian ethnicities and including famous occasions like Chinese mythical beast watercraft races. Furthermore, a Cuban celebration happens in the recreation center each year to observe Cuba's autonomy from Spain and perceive the well known Cuban poet, Jose Marti. The recreation center incorporates a few statues and landmarks and fringes a few noteworthy places of worship.

The park's checkered past as everything from the center of the silent film industry to a favored rendevous for drug dealers and buyers will satisfy any history buff. But the walking paths, greenery, floating library, and colorful locals make this park a perfect place for a quick walk or an afternoon picnic.
