I grew up a half block from Echo Park. My grade school bus stop was at the corner of the park, and I spent many an afternoon "exploring" the whole park. The "island" was my favorite place. I used to pretend I was a character in some book and lost in "the jungle" as an explorer... or big game hunter... or escaping from the natives. What a marvelous childhood I had, considering I had to grow up in one of the largest cities in the world! From my porch, I watched Hwy 101 (the freeway he shows in this video) being dug out of the dirt and constructed. On weekends, I would play with my toy dump truck and road grader in the dirt, surrounded by the actual machinery. I remember the old men playing chess on the wooden picnic tables, under the shade of the palm trees, and kids on bicycles riding along the pathways. Feeding the ducks was my most favorite pastime. Across the street from the park, between the park and the freeway, was a recreation center and a small concrete wading pool we used in the summer. There was a playground next to the rec center, with swings and a big slide and other kid rides, while my mom would wax her Studebaker car in the shade under palm trees where she could watch me. I'm so glad to see her get rejuvenated. Thank you for this video. PS I was born in 1948, to give you a sense of the times when I lived there.

i suspect global warming is Nature giving herself a cleansing treatment to remove toxins and rebalance stuff. I just hope all of humanity is not on her hit list but if we are ... oh, well, we brought it upon ourselves.

It's amazing how they cleared everyone out and removed all that stuff , years of personal collection, and it's nice that they are saying if anyone wish to claim their personal belongings, they gave contact info, i hope those who went to the hotel and shelter seek a new start, 😊👍💕💕💕

its wonderful how mitch o farrell is using this as an opportunity to line him and his donors pockets by funneling their half a million dollar "renovation" while garcetti is exploiting the homeless to profit his hotel donors by temporarily turning their buildings into prisons for the homeless. very cool! :/

@@YES-mb6lh so you are saying they are preventing the people from leaving the hotel or shelter, i thought they had a choice to go or not to go, was it wrong to offer them an option, because the park is closed no matter what, i didn't see anything posted about the people being held prisoners, have you been to the hotel or shelter or heard of anyone who checked on the people ?

I currently live on Okinawa Island, Japan. It is your videos and narrative that help keep me connected to LA. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Mike, another great video! You are my favourite youtuber now. Hope you don´t let the negative comments do anything to you, you have a great positive and caring vibe about you, the way you see little things, details, the way you are interested in people´s stories and try to understand them... great!

thank you mike,for showing echo park how it is,its beautiful,hopefully,there is another space for the homeles,they are people you now,monique augustus from belgium

Love your videos!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for sharing! I’m so happy the Park is back to being a beautiful Park for All people. That’s what a real Park looks like 👍🏼

Mike, I 100% believe that people like you are responsible for the positive shifts we are seeing. I have a profound sense of empathy for people, however, I also believe that we cannot have parks in a dirty, stagnant state, appearing apocalyptical with displaced people as our norm. This needed to be done. A heartfelt thank you for shining a light 🙏🏼.

There were 5 deaths some from overdose, drowning in the lake while intoxicated, there were pedophiles and fugitives in there. Homeless women got raped in the tents and pimped, children were being flashed and befriended by pedophiles, groped, children got dirty needles puncturing their shoes, some strung out homeless people having sex with children passing by, etc., etc. And the DSA activists still had the gull to riot against the police for helping the homeless go to shelter and rehab and the community feel safer. I wonder why no one talks about what the homeless were doing for a year in that park under the auspices of the DSA.

Thanks for the updates'.

Hello German in Venice! Thanks for the update! I have heard that the city wilo update the park toilet as well as the playground and finally something about the water! So beautiful to see no tents! Next up sweep the beach

Hi Mike! I knew that the homeless were going to be cleared out no matter what the lady Valerie said and I’m glad the park is cleared and will be repaired so that people can go back to enjoying the park! I also Hope that the homeless get the help they need and I wish each and everyone of them a better life and that they get some real help! Thank You for all the hard work you put into keeping us informed!! Take Care and Stay Safe Mike TSCHUESSING!

Geez that's a beautiful park. Trying to picture Arnold and Sly racing those pedal swans across Echo Park Lake. Always interesting, thanks!

Much as I felt for the people who camped out in the park, I would be furious if it happened near my home. I cant imagine trying to sell it with a an illegal shanty town accross the road. It's value would plummet.
