MacArthur Park in Los Angeles officially shuts down for repairs and maintenance at 10:30 p.m. on Oct. 15, moving about 250 homeless people living in the park’s encampments.

Los Angeles City Councilman Gil Cedillo, who represents District 1, announced the park’s closure last month. During the pandemic, hundreds of unhoused people began camping out at the Westlake park.
