In the 1950s, the Golden State Freeway was built against its western boundary. Some of the Park's features include a man-made lake, rolling hills, towering palms, picnic areas, and even a skateboard park. Hollenbeck Park is located at 415 South Saint Louis Street and the corner of Fourth Street in the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles.
Description	This picture shows several people in canoes enjoying the placid waters of the lake in Hollenbeck Park. The boathouse is visible to the right along the lake's edge; a small island, Bamboo Island, sit in the middle of the lake; beyond that, an arched bridge can be partially seen behind still more tree foliage.
