Sneak peek at Magic Johnson Park after $70 million renovations completed
Beautifully renovated park named after Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson will now have 120 acres of usable park area, including a 20,000-square-foot event center intended for community gatherings and weddings.
The park now has 300 new trees, more than 30,000 plants, a redesigned lake and a half-mile walking trail. The centerpiece of the renovations is a new event center, which will be used to host conferences, educational programs and other large gatherings.
The lake will be fed by a new storm-water treatment system, which will collect runoff from surrounding communities and use that water to fill the lake.
The renovation also includes new play areas for the 250,000 children who live within five miles of the park.
