RIVER CENTER AND GARDENS

A gala celebration was held on March 4, 2000 to commemorate the grand opening of the Los Angeles River Center and Gardens in Cypress Park. The former Lawry's California Center facility has been beautifully restored by the SMMC/MRCA to become a central gathering place for everyone with an interest in the Los Angeles River. The River Center boasts a museum with a dramatic water feature devoted to educating the public about the Los Angeles River. One building houses a computer training and educational facility for use by nearby residents. Office spaces at the River Center are occupied by the MRCA, North East Trees, Friends of the Los Angeles River, National Park Service, and the Clean and Green Program. Future plans for the River Center call for a bike trail staging area and a connection with the proposed Arroyo Seco and Los Angeles River bike trails. The River Center and Gardens is located in Cypress Park.
