Major Initiatives for Exposition Park

Exposition Park is experiencing an incredible chapter of transformation that will capture the world’s attention even before the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.  In its journey toward becoming a world-class destination to expand upon its existing world-class museums and venues, active construction projects are underway for future attractions—the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, the California Science Center Oschin Air and Space Center Space Shuttle Endeavour exhibition. Together, these projects will increase the Park’s activity by millions of additional visitors expected in the next few years.

Exposition Park will soon experience the global spotlight as the only site in world history to host three active Olympiads with the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games on-site, as well as potential 2026 FIFA World Cup Fan Fests. To accommodate the millions of anticipated visitors, Exposition Park must update its facilities and transform into a site of the future.  Infrastructure improvements and related investments are needed to support additional management and coordination of park services, increased operational capacity, parking, and open space for the public.

Through public-private partnerships, the Foundation seeks support to transform Exposition Park, to enhance its community benefits, including climate resilience, improved health and wellness, better air quality, and sustainable energy sources.

Thanks to the State of California, in 2024 Exposition Park secured over $371 million in state funding towards over three-quarters of the funding needed for a full Park revitalization. These investments support renewable energy projects, in addition to a new public, green park for the community above an underground parking structure, adjacent to a new headquarters and community center. This park project represents the single, the largest green infrastructure investment the State has made in the community of South Los Angeles.

The Exposition Park Foundation is seeking to support Exposition Park. All projects funded through the Foundation will aim to create local jobs and economic development in the area that will have significant impacts on the local community and leave a lasting legacy for the next 100 years.  Most importantly, it will allow for the expansion of green space, which is so lacking in South LA, as a legacy of these improvements.

The revitalized Exposition Park will stand as a symbol of the community’s vision , environmental sustainability, and a shared commitment to green space for future generations. By supporting the Exposition Park Foundation, you are investing in a park that will serve as a vibrant gem in the heart of Los Angeles for the next 100 years. The park’s revitalization is also leaving and an enduring legacy of economic opportunity for the residents of South LA by creating jobs and will be a global example of how public-private partnerships can create lasting social and environmental impact.
