Los Angeles's newest park, Confluence Plaza, had its dedication Wednesday night. Politicians, parks and recreation officials and Friends of the L.A. River gathered to throw the switch on the new fountain there.
The park, on San Fernando Road in Cypress Park, is at the furthest eastern edge of the Santa Monica Mountains, just across the 5 Freeway from Elysian Park, the city's oldest park.
It's part of a larger project under the 5 and 110 freeways that will eventually create a roundabout and a fully landscaped area under the bridge there.
Gary Leonard joined the crowd on a beautiful Wednesday night and snapped the accompanying photo essay.
