About this episode
Echo Park in Los Angeles has been in the national news this week because of the homeless camp being removed and subsequent protests by homeless activists. What was the actual purpose of this park when it opened in 1895? Why were American parks built in the first place? Who are they for? Let's take a look at the rich history and social psychology of parks and refocus on making them safe places of "Re-Creation" for the youth. #thelongroadshow Learn more about the history of Los Angeles parks: https://www.laparks.org/department/history
