Glassel Park

Glassell Park is a moderately diverse neighborhood in Northeast Los Angeles, California, known for the high percentage of Asians and Latinos living there. The neighborhood has been significantly affected by the Southern California real estate boom that began in the early 2000s. An influx of middle-class families have moved into the neighborhood, attracted by the abundance of Craftsman homes and relatively low prices.

Glassell Park is bordered on the north by Glendale, on the northeast and east by Eagle Rock, on the southeast by Mount Washington, on the south and southwest by Elysian Valley and on the west by Atwater Village.The neighborhood is located in a relatively hilly region of Los Angeles and the hills often provide spectacular views.

Near the center of Glassell Park, on Verdugo Road, is the Glassell Park Recreation Center.Along San Fernando Road and adjacent to the Los Angeles River is the Rio de Los Angeles State Park, built on part of the Taylor Yard railway switching facility.
