 exposition park, south los angeles, case study by alan loomis | los angeles forum for architecture and urban design

Exposition Park was established 1872 as privately owned showground equipped with stables, paddocks and a racetrack for agricultural and horticultural fairs, livestock and farm equipment shows, and horse races.
In 1885 the park passed into public ownership, but through lack of funds and mismanagement it was nearly lost - stable public stewardship was not achieved until 1908, when an operating agreement between the state, county and city was reached.
