Leimert Park station is a subterranean light rail facility on the K Line within the Los Angeles Metro Rail network, situated beneath Crenshaw Boulevard at the intersection with Vernon Avenue in the Leimert Park area of Los Angeles.
After strong community advocacy for an underground passage beneath Park Mesa Heights, the station received full funding and was added to the project in May 2013. It officially commenced operations on October 7, 2022, following a ceremonial ribbon-cutting event held earlier on June 25, 2022.
The station is adorned with artistic contributions from Ingrid Calame, Mickalene Thomas, and Deanna Erdmann, which enrich its cultural value within the transit system.
