About the Charrette:
As Los Angeles prepares to host the 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, LA River State Park Partners (LARSPP) and the Festival Trail initiative are teaming up to ensure the spotlight on LA brings lasting benefits—starting right here at LA State Historic Park.
Regional mega-events coming to LA create the opportunity to transform the way that the world sees Los Angeles County—not as merely a car-centric, disconnected group of 88 cities but rather as an interconnected mega-region, leading the nation in cultural diversity, equity, sustainability, a local economy-focused approach, universal accessibility to all ages and mobility abilities, and an inspired and innovative active transportation, zero-emission transit-based infrastructure network.
Together, the Festival Trial and LA River State Park Partners are hosting a community charrette on September 27, 2025, from 10am to 12pm, to begin shaping a vision for the park as a cultural and resilience hub—before, during, and after the Games.
Our charrettes are a community-driven collaborative planning effort to design, fund, and implement projects in public spaces to create lasting, multimodal, and equitable benefits for mega-events like the World Cup, Paralympics, Olympics, and beyond.
The LA State Historic Park charrette is the 4th Festival Trail community planning meeting toward the vision of creating connected, accessible, resilient spaces for these once in a generation investments. There will be three leading questions for community discussion:
How can we improve connectivity and connection along and to the LA River during and after the 2028 Games?
How can the LA State Historic Park harness the 2028 Games to better serve the surrounding communities?
What does community celebration and legacy look like during and after the Games?
The charrette will create space for local residents, artists, tenant groups, and youth organizations to shape how LASHP can serve as a welcoming, inclusive hub during the Games—and long after.
