Besides the city park of the same name,[1] Dodger Stadium is also located within the neighborhood, as are a Catholic high school, an elementary school and the Los Angeles Police Academy. HistoryThe southeastern corner of the park is near the Los Angeles River at the location where the Portolá expedition gave the river its name in 1769. The first Europeans to see inland areas of California camped near this spot on August 2, and California Historical Landmark #655 ("Portolá Trail Campsite") is located at the Meadow Road entrance. ParkThe park is the second largest park in Los Angeles at 600 acres (2.4 km²).[1] It is also the city's oldest park, founded in 1886 by the Elysian Park Enabling Ordinance. It hosted shooting as well as the shooting part of the modern pentathlon event for the 1932 Summer Olympics.[2] In 1964 the Citizens Committee to Save Elysian Park was founded to prevent the City of Los Angeles from constructing the Municipal Convention Center on {{convert|62|acre|m2}} of park land. In 1968, it hosted a hippie "Love-In."[3] GeographyLocationAccording to the Mapping L.A. project of the Los Angeles Times, the Elysian Park neighborhood is flanked on the north and northeast by Elysian Valley, on the east by Lincoln Heights, on the southeast and south by Chinatown and on the southwest, west and northwest by Echo Park.[4] Street and other boundaries are: the northern apex at Exit 138 of the Golden State Freeway, thence southeasterly along the freeway, southerly along the Los Angeles River, westerly along North Broadway, northwesterly along Stadium Way, Academy Road and northerly along Elysian Park Drive.[5][6] Figueroa Street TunnelsThe Figueroa Street Tunnels take northbound State Route 110 (the Pasadena Freeway) through the park.
