Last year, the southeast L.A. County city of Huntington Park opened Veterans Park, a new linear park featuring walk and bike paths.

Veterans Park extends ten blocks from Walnut Street to Santa Ana Street. It is about 0.56 mile long - and about 50 feet wide. The northern end of the park is located just two blocks from Metro's planned West Santa Ana Branch rail line.
