Dr. Paul Carlson Park
It is linear in shape and intended for passive recreational use, featuring open grassy spaces as well as picnic and barbecue facilities.It is named for Dr. Paul Carlson, a former resident of Culver City whose martyrdom in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1964 attracted national attention.In the summer, Culver City Public Theater gives free public theatrical performances in the park.Initially called Victory Park, so named because the mayor's wife believed "it was a victory to get a park," the park was renamed shortly after Dr. Carlson's death.[1] Over the years, a number of renovation and modernization projects undertaken by the Culver City Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services have targeted Carlson Park, including the recent construction of a new bathroom structure.
