- In 1886, the Stone Quarry Hills (also known as the Rock Quarry Hills) was officially dedicated as Elysian Park, which became a popular recreation area, offering ample picnic grounds, an arboretum, zoological garden, and aviary. In 1962, the Dodger Stadium was established in the same area, sometimes referenced as the Chavez Ravine.
