Proposed Harold Henry Park Improvements The City of Los Angeles may allocate funds for the improvement of Harold Henry Park in Windsor Village. This park is located south of Wilshire Blvd. with Francis Ave. to the north, Windsor Blvd. to the east, 9th St. to the south, and Lucerne Blvd. to the west. Community activists and Councilman Harold Henry created the park in the early 1960s by combing two residential properties. The park is now a contributing property to the Windsor Village Historic Preservation Overlay Zone. The Council office has suggested that funds be allocated for new concrete benches to replace broken wood benches, fencing around the existing children’s play area, a new water fountain, and exercise equipment located adjacent to the children’s play area. The Council Office has also welcomed resident’s initiatives to further define acceptable improvements. In this last regard representatives of Windsor Village are preparing a concept design and soliciting input from the Windsor Village Association, the Windsor Village Historic Preservation Overlay Zone Advisory Board, and the Greater Wilshire Neighborhood Council. Given the deteriorated conditions of the center of the park, the proposed design emphasizes this location to reinforce a now neglected gathering spot that can, with improvement, better serve a host of functions that already utilize the park including morning tai chi sessions, afternoon gatherings of seniors, and occasional informal community meetings. The improvement plan proposes in this location the replacement of two lines of broken benches, relocation of a broken water fountain, removal of filled-with-concrete tree wells and planting beds, and new concrete and brick walkways. The goal of proposed improvements is to reinforce the quality of an existing and quiet meditative zone and better connect it to both the children’s play area to the east and existing picnic tables to the west. The proposed design replaces the worn out and cracked central concrete walkway and brick pad with a new carpet of brick pavers surrounded by a border of sidewalk. The fountain location is moved north to visibly mark the pedestrian axis that connects this portion of the park with the children’s area. Benches, compatible with the character of the historic district, are grouped to the northern and southern edges of the brick carpet, creating two distinct seating areas. Additional replacement benches and trashcans are located at the children’s play area, replacing the existing broken benches and creating increased design continuity across the extent of the park. Proposed landscaping includes the introduction of four Pyrus kawakamii or Evergreen Pear trees at the park center, providing flowering color in the early spring. Additionally, an existing in ground garden curb is extended around the northeast corner of the central park area, establishing an enlarged and buffering planting zone in this quiet zone that contrasts with the surrounding turf. In preparing this design, several design principles emerged for any park improvements for which community consensus is sought. These include: o o o o

sustaining and nurturing the passive activities that already take place in the park, maintaining an open view across the park to enhance safety, utilizing park furnishings that build upon the existing historic character of the surrounds, and introducing landscaping and trees that creates a sense of the seasons.

The design, while a draft concept, has been prepared based upon these principles, and with additional input will result in improvements by both the City and the community that best reflect the distinct qualities and character of this Mid-city neighborhood park.
