The 5-acre site across from the Biltmore Hotel is mostly concrete right now, but the vision for the park includes more grass and trees.
A ceremonial groundbreaking held on Monday marks the beginning of a renovation that will completely change the look of Pershing Square - the oldest park in the city of Los Angeles.
"This is a centerpiece - or it has potential to be a genuinely real centerpiece for all of the city of L.A.," said City Councilman Kevin de León. But this phase will take a couple of years to complete. The city said it wants to keep the underground garage open during the renovation. Mary Kheir lives near Pershing Square and said she loves the idea of her neighborhood park being transformed into a greener place to hang out and walk her dogs.
