Maguire Gardens

Southern California weather can be perfect for a lazy afternoon of reading. So bring a cozy lawn blanket or choose a cool bench and pop open a library book at the gorgeous Maguire Gardens, surrounding the historic Central Library. This pleasant park also features two unique fountains and a miniature replica of the Liberty Bell. If you work in the area and have no time to read on your lunch hour, why not pack a picnic and pretend you're on holiday during your lunch break?
