Description:
Across Manchester Boulevard from the Inglewood City Hall and next to Inglewood High School, Grevillea Art Park is best known now as the location of Helen Lundeberg's 240 foot long "History of Transportation" mural. This artwork was a WPA piece that was completed in 1940 and is made of petra-chrome, a material similar to terrazzo. Previously located in Centinela Park, the mural was restored in 2007 and moved here to downtown Inglewood. For more pictures and info about this piece, check out this
photo gallery.
During the summer, the city of Inglewood sometimes sponsors free concerts here by the mural. Check on the City of Inglewood website - />
Inglewood is also a great place to see the airplanes landing at LAX.
