Parking lots turned into parks—it’s the latest transformation sweeping L.A., and who could complain after setting eyes on Santa Monica’s Tongva Park? This idyllic and well-designed ocean-adjacent oasis harbors a playground, meadows, waterfalls, walking paths and a conch-like, wireframe lookout to the Pacific. Artist Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle’s kinetic sculpture Weather Field anchors the park as a minimal, serene and instantly memorable landmark.
