Plaza De Leon is an affordable housing community located in MacArthur Park across the street from MacArthur Lake.Here are some frequently asked Questions about the community, surrounding areas and application process.HistoryMacArthur Park is a park in the Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, named after General Douglas MacArthur and designated city of Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument #100. The park is divided in two by Wilshire Boulevard. The southern portion primarily consists of a lake, while the northern half includes an amphitheatre, bandshell, soccer fields, and playground along with a recreation center operated by the city of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks. MacArthur Park's bandshell has been recently renovated as the Levitt Pavilion is once again the host of jazz, big band, salsa music, beat music, and world music concerts. Since reopening it hosts at least 50 free concerts each summer between June and September.The lake in MacArthur Park is fed by natural springs (although an artificial bottom to the lake was laid during the construction of the Metro Red Line, opened in 1993). In the past, a fountain with a reflecting pool on the northern end was also fed by the springs. The Westlake/MacArthur Park Red Line station sits across the street. The park, originally named Westlake Park, was built in the 1880s, along with a similar Eastlake Park, whose lake is artificial, in Los Angeles. Westlake Park was renamed May 7, 1942.In the mid-19th century the area was a swampland; by the 1890s, it was a vacation destination, surrounded by luxury hotels. In the early part of the 20th century, the MacArthur park area became known as the Champs- lys es of Los Angeles.Beginning in 2002 the Los Angeles Police Department and business and community leaders led a revitalization effort that has led to the installation of surveillance cameras, the opening of a recreation center, increased business, early-morning drink vendors, a new Metro station, the fountain, and large community festivals attracting thousands. In 2007, Levitt Pavilion MacArthur Park opened, providing the public with over fifty free concerts each summer and attracting families from around the city. Most recently, in 2005 the park was celebrated for having the highest reduction of crime statistics per resident in the United States.ParkingThere is no onsite parking, however there is a lot nearby that rents monthly parking for approximately $80 per month.PetsAs much as we love our animals, pets are not permitted to reside, or visit the premises at any time.
