MJMP – Michael Jackson Memorial Park 2009

Michael Jackson, the eternal King of Pop, deserves a tribute as boundless as his artistry. The Michael Jackson Memorial Park (MJMP) envisions his magic immortalized across nine interconnected zones, a symphony of spaces nestled in the vibrant heart of DTLA’s MacArthur Park.

Chosen for its rich cultural tapestry and diverse community, MacArthur Park becomes the stage where his legacy will inspire unity and joy. At its center, a 40-foot gilded statue of Michael Jackson, frozen in nine iconic poses, celebrates his timeless charisma. These statues stand as beacons, anchoring accompanying dance pavilions where his rhythms invite movement and self-expression.

The ground itself will hum with life, embedded speakers playing his greatest hits to animate the air. His music will guide our steps, bridging generations and backgrounds, as visitors come together to move in unison, embracing the spirit of creativity and love that Michael embodied.

Here, the King’s influence transcends time, transforming MacArthur Park into a living celebration—one where his songs continue to inspire harmony and community, as if he were still leading us on the dance floor.
