Elysian Park is one of the largest parks in Los Angeles, California, United States, at 600 acres. Most of Elysian Park is located in the neighborhood of the same name, but a small portion of the park is in Echo Park. The park was created by city ordinance on April 5, 1886. City engineer George Hansen sponsored the ordinance. 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. Parts of Elysian Park were swapped for other lands held by the Los Angeles Dodgers when Dodger Stadium was built.
