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.
