Lake Park (California)
Public space at SoFi Stadium, California / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lake Park is 12 acres (4.9 ha) of privately owned public[1] open urban green space on the south side of SoFi Stadium, part of the Hollywood Park complex in Inglewood, California, United States.[2] Six acres (2.4 ha) of parkland surround the six acre Rivers Lake.[3][4] The stadium and park are central to the 298-acre multi-use project (121 ha) with several public art works.[5][6] The landscape of the park is integral to the design of the area while also being used for rainwater harvesting.[7] At 15 feet (4.6 m) deep and holding close to 11 million US gallons (42,000,000 L; 9,200,000 imp gal) of water, it captures 70-80% of the rainwater in the entire complex. This reclaimed water amounts to 26 million US gallons (98,000,000 L; 22,000,000 imp gal) annually used to water the entirety of the greenery throughout the stadium park and its surrounding streetscapes.[8] In addition to its use in sustainable water usage, the lake is designed to be an aesthetic addition to the American Airlines Plaza with the Lake Park Overlook viewing platform having a wide view of the stadium’s curved form.[9] The upper and lower portions of the lake are separated by cascading waterfalls.[10]
