We visit L.A. pretty often but had never stopped at Echo Park until recently. Turns out we've been missing one of the most wonderful places in Los Angeles all this time. Well not anymore. Since this visit we've already gone back once and plan on visiting at least once a month. It's just a great place to hang out, to walk, to eat a bunch of snacks and let the kids play in the playground. Echo Park Lake has this amazing sense of community and it's such a welcoming place.
I've taken a ton of photos (w/ my iPhone) and will be sharing them in a series of posts. I'm just so in love with this place. If you ever visit the L.A. area I definitely suggest visiting Echo Park Lake. Parking is a bit of a pain since you have to park in the street and it's super crowded, but just be patient, it's worth it.
