A Look at the Rueben Ingold Park in View Park

A Look at the Rueben Ingold Park in View Park
In the unincorporated neighborhood of View Park, you’ll find this pristine and peaceful walking trail on a steep edge of the neighborhood.
This park is a namesake for Rueben Ingold, the former president of the Los Angeles Investment Company. Ingold, who rose through the investment company ranks, from title clerk to president, is known for developing the View Park and Ladera neighborhoods--formerly barren land, into the beautiful homes that we see today. In fact, before this area was developed, part of it was used as the hosting site of the1932 Olympic Village.
The park, which was built in 1972, was originally named Mt. Vernon Parkway, but former supervisor Kennth Hahn and the Los Angeles County board of supervisors rededicated the park in Ingold’s honor in 1978.

There’s also a church (Park Hills Community RCA) on Overdale drive (a couple of minutes away from this church that has a fellowship hall named after Mr. Ingold.
My Pastor briefly acted as their senior pastor, and during this time, I was told that Mr. Ingold donated/funded the building of that hall.
It’s a historic church that was formerly all white, then became a predominantly black church after white flight from the area.
The congregation is mostly made up of a few baby boomers and attendance is very low as they’ve struggle to change with the world around them.
