Location/Accession	L.A.-Parks-MacArthur Park.
Physical Description	1 photograph :b&w
Description	Students and instructors of the Fred Archer School of Photography use MacArthur Park as a campus, especially at noon hour when they go there to eat their lunches and visit while enjoying its beauty; the school is located across the street from the park. In this photo we see clusters of students reclining on the grass. Sunbathers and boaters also frequent the park - as seen here. MacArthur Park, created in the 1880s under the name Westlake Park, was later renamed in honor of General Douglas MacArthur. By the 1890s, it was a vacation destination surrounded by luxury hotels; in the early part of the 20th Century, the area became known as the Champs Elysees of Los Angeles. MacArthur Park has been designated City of Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument #100.
