I read the oldest park is Elysian, by Dodger Stadium. Does anyone know of any historic parks and outdoor sites on the west side?

Try the Self-Realization Fellowship Shrine in Pacific Palisades. It is NOT that old...opened to the public in 1950. Basically, it's a privately run park that pays tribute to all the world's faiths.

A very unique and tranquil resting place you'd never know was there.

The park is free and there is NO charge for parking:

Lake Shrine Temple

The Hollywood Bowl isn't really West Side. It's east of La Brea, and many people wouldn't even consider La Brea to be the dividing line between the West Side and Central L.A. As a native westsider, I'd consider Fairfax to be the dividing line, although that still leaves WeHo split. Using La Brea as a dividing line would include all of WeHo but seems too far east for me ; while using the 310/323 area code boundary of La Cienega would not only exclude most of WeHo but a good chunk of Beverly Hills and a tiny sliver of Culver City, so it seems too far west.

However, Runyon Canyon and Wattles Garden are historic sites, not that far from the Bowl, but definitely west of La Brea although east of Fairfax (Wattles Garden's pretty close to Fairfax though.)
