On July 30th, officials decided to close down Angels Knoll from public access. They're taking away one of the few grassy areas offered in DTLA, not to mention a famous film destination (seen in 500 Days of Summer). I can't bear to think that they could just declare it closed when it's such a hot spot for tourists and locals just the same.
For a more detailed look at why this move is a truly terrible decision go to http://m.ladowntownnews.com/opinion/fencing-fourth-and-hill-and-angels-knoll-was-a-dumb/article_cb0a66c4-06c3-11e3-bc14-0019bb2963f4.html?mode=jqm
Please "sign" this petition, to save what I consider to be a piece of film history and furthermore a source to many great memories of mine and surely many Los Angelinos.
The city officials who locked the gates to Angels Knoll clearly think we will just forget about it and let them turn this space into another useless development. They are wrong because we are not going to be silent while they fence off a piece of our history for no good reason.

It’s a tragedy every time a park is lost, especially a historic one like Angels Knoll.

I'm all for DTLA development but I would LOVE to have this park open! Extra seating for the market, great views, and a real park with real trees walking distance from my apartment.

This park is next to a historic landmark! That has been renovated and reopened itself, why not the park? We are currently looking for more space to build parks a green space but want to develop over this perfect space?

Save this lovely oasis of green & soil on the natural hillside of Bunker Hill, balanced between the modern city and it's historic past. Save this urban treasure!

Used to eat lunch here all the time. Such a shame to see it fenced off for no reason. Fix it up and let people back in!
