The park is being improved and will be even better when complete. Grab coffee and watch the world go by - no better place to people watch .

The perfect urban hike starting point - from here you can climb up Bunker Hill and Angel's Flight for a view of Downtown LA.

Went Ice Skating with my boys and had so much fun. With it lit with Christmas lights and live music this place is certainly great for any age.

The LA Conservancy city walking tours begin here, $10 per person. Parking under the square can be validated on tours so it's only $5 to park all day!

During the winter, lace up your skates for Downtown on Ice at Pershing Square in front of the historic Millennium Biltmore Hotel or at LA Kings Ice at L.A. LIVE.

Summer Concerts & Downtown on Ice in the winter. Nothing like ice skating outdoors in LA; especially when you're surrounded by the Downtown skyline.

During the Holiday season you can take your loved one ice-skating at this outdoor pavilion. Even when it’s warm there’s always a free concert or special event you can attend! #vday

Probably one of the few spaces left that remind old LA of old LA..

So noisy during the free concerts ! The residential buildings nearby get no rest.

Lots of free music during the summer and you can take the train .

This is more square than you would think. It wasnt named Pershing Circle for a reason.

Culturally interesting but the homeless issue is really horrible. Stinky bums litter this park . It is a dirty shame. Literally!

It used to be cool here, now it's dirty and full of panhandlers.

If you're into Pershing Square's current aesthetic (it's very '90's), you'll have only a few more chances to skate under that purple tower, as the park may go through a major face-lift by 2019. - LAist
