Not far from Papalote is a funny little park you could be forgiven for not noticing even if you stroll by it regularly. The park is called Juri Commons<\/a> and was once a section of railroad before the 1906 earthquake. In the 70’s the skinny quadrilateral lot was converted into a park with a small playground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately little maintenance has been done since then, although a group of volunteers<\/a> does their best to tidy up the place. That said, the playground is in particularly rough shape and I decided not to photograph the mural behind the swings because I didn’t want to step on the broken glass of a beer bottle some asshole had smashed there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from its shape and size the most unique feature of the park is the Sol Flor sculptures<\/a> embedded in the ground. They were built by artist Jen Alexander in a medium similar to LA’s Watt’s Towers — re-purposed garbage — though these are obviously much smaller in scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
