WeHo Weaver’s Walk
Pocket Park
West Hollywood, CA
Weaver’s Walk is a public pocket park in West Hollywood that offers a vibrant, shaded urban garden to a stretch of Melrose Avenue. Set within a highly active commercial corridor across from the Pacific Design Center, the park creates a moment of respite, inviting visitors to slow down, gather, and engage with the landscape.
At the heart of the park, Karon Davis’s sculpture Before Picasso creates a striking, colorful focal point, and serves as the anchor to the space. The eighteen-foot-tall purple figural form rises above a grove of redbud trees, evoking West African Guro loom pulleys. The weaving pathway below uses a pattern of precast pavers that draws from the graphic motifs of traditional Guro textiles.
Braided pedestrian paths traverse the pocket park, guiding visitors through pollinator-friendly planting, specimen oak trees, and layered understory vegetation. Custom seating utilizing reclaimed wood from the greater Los Angeles Area is integrated throughout the site, creating natural moments to pause, gather, and take in the surroundings.
The landscape balances movement and stillness. It supports both everyday use and quieter, more intentional moments of connection within the city.
