Barnsdall Art Park is a city park located in the East Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.[1][2] Parking and arts buildings access is from Hollywood Boulevard on the north side of the park.[3] The park is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument, and a facility of the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.[4] The Barnsdall Art Park Foundation, a nonprofit organization, helps manage Barnsdall Art Park and the activities there.[5]

Aline Barnsdall donated Barnsdall Park to the City of Los Angeles for arts and recreational purposes, including the preservation of the historic architecture and landscape features. Located at the crest of Olive Hill, Barnsdall Art Park overlooks the city of Los Angeles, and the Hollywood Hills, including Griffith Park. The park is centered on Barnsdall's Hollyhock House designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, a city and national landmark and World Heritage Site.
