Christine Emerson Reed Park
Christine Emerson Reed Park, formerly known as Lincoln Park, is a park in Santa Monica, California. The park sits between 7th street and Lincoln Boulevard and between Wilshire Boulevard and California Avenue.[1] It is home to the Miles Memorial Playhouse, tennis courts, and the city's tennis office, basketball courts, a playground, and CREST after school program.[2] The park has three chess tables, but no pieces are provided. One table is specifically designated for wheelchair accessibility.[3]
Reed Park is the source of the name of the band Linkin Park.[4][5] A petition was started by fans in 2017 to rename the park after Linkin Park's frontman Chester Bennington.[4]
