What do swan boats, silent films, and a rack of vintage Disney clothes have in common?
They’re all part of the story in LA’s Echo Park—a neighborhood with deep Hollywood roots and a laid-back creative spirit.

Here’s what you’ll discover:
- The real-life inspiration behind Echo Lake at Hollywood Studios
