Baldwin Hills Clean and Green for All for Generations to Come

The Baldwin Hills Park in the heart of historic African American Los Angeles is the largest urban park designed in the United States in over a century.

The County of Los Angeles has imposed a one year moratorium on new oil drilling near the park in order to prepare an environmental impact report and community standards district. The process will analyze and impact the impacts of the drilling on human health, the community, the park, housing, schools, recreation, businesses, air, water, land, noise, and vibrations.

We are working with the community, Community Health Councils, and Baldwin Hills Conservancy to submit ensure full and fair analyses of health and environmental impacts of oil drilling. Learn more at www.greaterbaldwinhillsalliance.org and www.baldwinhillsoil.org

The City Project has worked with diverse community groups for years to help make the dream come true for a two square mile park in the Baldwin Hills in the historic African American heart of Los Angeles. We worked with the community to stop the power plant in the Park in 2001, to stop the garbage dump in the Park in 2003, and to save the Baldwin Hills Conservancy and budget in 2005 when a governor's commission threatened to eliminate both.
