context_page_description: Chutes Park in Los Angeles, California began as a trolley park in 1887. It was a 35-acre amusement park bounded by Grand Avenue on the west, Main Street on the east, Washington Boulevard on the north and 21st Street on the south. At various times it included rides, animal exhibits, a theater and a baseball park. In 1910 the park was sold to new owners and reopened as Luna Park. The amusement park closed in 1914.
  The name Chutes Park was also applied to the baseball park which opened around 1900 and was the original home of the Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League.
context_section_description: The site also included, at various times, such exotic diversions as a seal pond, ostriches, House of Trouble, and Cave of the Winds. By 1901, it also had a 4,000-seat theater and a baseball park that seated 10,000.
  The Los Angeles County Improvement Co. added a fishing pond, a small circus, hot-air balloon rides, the Catalina Marine Band, and a small railroad that followed the outer perimeter of the park.
