    A little run down

    This park was originally built in 1923 to highlight the Biltmore Hotel. Obviously, the playground and modern features have been added, but over the more recent years, it's been a little neglected and has fallen prey to the homeless. There was a security guard on...More

    Pershing Square is an interesting place to visit and watch all of the folks both employed and otherwise. It used to have lots of grass but now it is mostly concrete with a few plantings but it occupies a special place in front of the...More

    Nothing special about it

    Pershing Square has nothing special. It has an average park and the only useful thing is that it has a metro station.

    Normal Park

    Pershing square is just a nice park that is in the middle of downtown and situated next to a couple places such as Grand Central Market or other restaurants. It is pretty average.

    Nothing To See

    Small park area in the middle of downtown but mainly occupied by the homeless when we walked through. I wouldn't go out of my way to see the place.

    Yuck

    Nothing to see here but homeless people and ugly concrete. It's not really even an attraction. Felt unsafe and held my bag closer to me until I cleared this spot.

    Great photo opt!

    Nice park area with a fantastic background photo opt. All of the dirtbags and homeless people certainly do bring the place down. It is in a busy location with the Grand Central Marketplace near by for all of it's wonderful food and beverage options.

    Only worth visiting if you are in the area

    I went to Pershing square because it was near my hotel, the place had some homeless people walking around and a few people I am would not like to meet on a dark street. I did luck out and see that one day the park...More

    Don't bother

    Not sure why this gets good reviews. It's an alright looking urban square surrounded by multiple people asking for money and with a slightly unsafe vibe. All the security on the doors of surrounding businesses are there for a reason - I've never seen security...More

    Downtown
    Downtown Los Angeles is a busy metropolis of towering
    buildings, bustling streets, and industrial
    warehouses. There is a distinct multiplicity of
    cultures here with a growing influx of business
    professionals and hipsters. Many call the evolution of
    Downtown over recent years gentrification. New lofts,
    bars, hotels and restaurants are popping up regularly.
    Downtown is home to some of the very best restaurants

    It is in the middle in commercial area of the city. It is just another city square in a city. If you have time, it is worth stopping by to see and eat around there. I did not plan to go there myself but was there because of... More
