Centinela Park
Historic municipal park in Inglewood, California / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edward Vincent Jr. Park is a 55-acre (0.22 km2) municipal park in Inglewood, Los Angeles County, California. Originally Centinela Park, the historic location was renamed in 1997 to honor Edward Vincent Jr., the first African-American mayor of the city.[1] It was described as the "largest and most popular developed park in the Centinela-South Bay" in 1979.[2] The development of the nearby larger Baldwin Hills State Recreation Area in 1983 was said to relieve some of the local demand on Centinela Park amenities.[3]
