About Financial District

The Financial District is Downtown LA's skyline, but at street level it's full of free public space: the Maguire Gardens at the Central Library, the Bunker Hill Steps, and a wealth of public art and pocket parks tucked between the towers.

Pershing Square and the Central Library anchor the area, making it an easy, walkable district for a free afternoon downtown.
