Echo Park is a densely populated residential area situated north-west of downtown Los Angeles surrounded by the Elysian Park, Elysian Valley, Silver Lake and Chinatown. Echo Park’s centralised location makes for easy access to nearby tourist attractions, attributing to the area’s growing popularity.

Echo Lake boasts a healthy provision of entertainment, retail, and recreation jewels, including the Echo, an acclaimed music venue, Myrtle, a vintage clothing store, and the decadent Lemon Cafe. The most frequented places of interest are the locals’ beloved Dodgers Stadium and centralised Echo Park Lake. Additionally, the district contains the lesser known treasures of the Chavez Ravine Arboretum and the Wildflower Trail of Elysian Park.

Public transportation in Echo Park is serviced by the city’s comprehensive metro, railway, and bus system with Pico Union/Echo Park the primary station. It is a 25-minute drive by car from the Los Angeles Airport to Echo Park.

The densely populated area of Echo Park is divided into the four regions of Angelino Heights, Elysian Heights, Historic Filipino town, and Victor Heights, each with respectively different characteristics. The symbolic Echo Park Lake was created in 1870 as a public water reservoir and now persists as an important element of the city’s flood control protocol.
