Adams Square Mini Park

Historic Gas Station

The centerpiece of Adams Square Mini Park is a historic 1936 Streamline Moderne gas station, which has been repurposed as a unique art installation space. This gas station, listed on the Glendale Register of Historic Resources, adds a distinctive architectural element to the park and serves as a focal point for community engagement.

Park Creation and Purpose

The park was created by the City of Glendale to provide a recreational area for the densely populated Adams Hill neighborhood and to preserve a piece of local history. This small urban green space serves as an important community gathering place.

Amenities

The park features a children's playground suitable for ages 2-12, providing a safe and enjoyable space for young visitors. The open lawn area offers a place for relaxation and casual recreation.

Picnic tables and benches are available for visitors to use, making it an ideal spot for small gatherings or a quiet lunch outdoors.

Art and Culture

Adams Square Mini Park also serves as a venue for rotating art installations. The Arts and Culture Commission of the City of Glendale regularly invites artists to create temporary exhibits within the repurposed gas station, adding a dynamic cultural aspect to the park's offerings.
