The Department of Arts and Culture’s Civic Art Division invites artists or artist teams to submit qualifications to design, fabricate and install one or more sculptures for the entry plaza of the Environmental Justice Center, which will welcome visitors to the future Puente Hills Landfill Park.

With longtime support and funding from Supervisor Hilds Solis, LA County Department of Parks and Recreation, in collaboration with landscape architects OJB, will re-purpose the former Puente Hills Landfill site into a 142-acre park situated at the western end of Puente Hills. The park will offer sweeping views of the San Gabriel mountains and provide a wide range of recreational, cultural, and educational opportunities. The green space will help reduce temperatures, conserve water, and support biodiversity. It will be the first new regional park in the County in more than three decades. The goals of Puente Hills Landfill Park are to provide public access to nature and hands-on discovery for all, by creating and maintaining an accessible and engaging park, healing local ecosystems, demonstrating regenerative practices, advocating environmental justice, and providing a public forum for learning, sharing and advancing best practices.
