About Vermont Square

Vermont Square centers on its namesake park and the Vermont Square Library — the oldest branch library in Los Angeles, a 1913 Carnegie building. The park's lawns and the historic library anchor a tight-knit South LA neighborhood.

Community murals, including a tribute to Chadwick Boseman, and nearby recreation grounds give the area free, lived-in public space.
