Lake Park
Most of the only natural plant life in Los Angeles grows in the Park. The Park itself is totally man-made, from the lake to the patches of trees, with specially bio-engineered foliage contributed as a gift by the Corona Biotech Corporation.
By day the city owns the park; custodians keep it clean, and young mothers bring their children to play in a "natural" environment. But night is a different story. When the sun goes down, the "residents" emerge from the filth in which they have been hiding, and stalk the silent greenswards. The park is a very dangerous place at night, and there have been many disappearances.
Lake Park is also the foundation of the largest singular congregation of criminals and homeless people in the country. In fact, the entire northwestern section has been completely isolated from the rest of the park, effectively creating a stagnant pool of disease and abuse.
