South Park is a neighborhood in downtown Los Angeles, California, located immediately south of Bunker Hill and central business districts. The area is an urban district composed of residential towers, commercial buildings and entertainment facilities.

The neighborhood contains mixed-use development with high-rise apartments, hotels and office buildings, plus retail and dining at street level. It serves as part of the core downtown urban fabric and is connected to public transit and major roads.

South Park developed as part of downtown Los Angeles’s late 20th- and early 21st-century redevelopment, which introduced high-density residential and entertainment venues to the former industrial and low-rise commercial areas.

Geographically South Park sits within the greater downtown Los Angeles grid, immediately south of major downtown landmarks and adjacent to transit corridors that link the neighborhood with the wider metropolitan area.

• Urban character: Part of the downtown Los Angeles area, the neighborhood includes high-rise residential and commercial development and major entertainment venues nearby.

South Park sits in downtown Los Angeles. From central DTLA, walk or take Metro B/D to 7th St/Metro Center, or the E line to Pico; major surface arteries include Figueroa Street and Olympic Boulevard. For events at Crypto.com Arena or LA Live, public transit and event shuttles are recommended to avoid heavy traffic.

• Use the 7th St/Metro Center or Pico Station (Metro) to avoid traffic and parking hassles.
• For skyline views and a sense of the neighborhood, walk up Hill Street or along Figueroa near LA Live at dusk.
• Avoid weekday rush-hour driving in and out of the downtown core.
