Elysian Park

The land was considered "worthless" at the time and only a few other parks existed within the Los Angeles city limits.

For some time the land sat unimproved, but eventually roads, trails, and landscaping was added.

Atop the hill is a large metal sculpture art installation by local artist Peter Shire of the 1980s postmodern Memphis Group.

As of 2021, advocates were seeking to revitalize the Radio Hill area with new trails and a dog park.
