Of course, asphalt pits existed long before the city, but I was interested in the ongoing excavation work in the heart of the Los Angeles metropolitan city, just a few blocks from Wilshere Avenue and a few miles from Rodeo Avenue. The thousands of fossils unearthed in the mine are shocking and the work continues to this day. A must see for natural historians and paleontology students of all ages. The La Brea asphalt pit is the top four attractions I saw in Los Angeles and I was not disappointed

I've been to Los Angeles twice, and I think I have to go to Labraia Park every time I come here. It's just a little practical demonstration, but it gives people a sense of how they are trapped. It's good to go to museums on rainy days.
We came to the park after a few hours at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. We looked at the museum from the outside, but it was closed by then. We tried to cut through the park to the opposite La Brea residential area and found ourselves lost. The park, built in 1940, is pretty, but when you get trapped inside and it gets longer and longer it becomes very frustrating! We walked out as night fell.
I just walked around but I let my travelling friends know it was a really nice place, right next to the Holocaust Memorial in Los Angeles. It was a great place to walk around, exercise and keep it up.
The park is very sanitary and the toilet is very convenient and clean. The scenery is good.
