Korean Friendship Bell

I've gone to this park for years. The bell was a gift from Korea during America's bicentennial as a sign of friendship. Also, the basketball court next to the parking lot has been in many scenes in movies and TV commercials. I remember a Sprite commercial with Kobe Bryant was filmed there back in the day!
