Help me find cool flat spaces in Los Angeles
I have the idea of having a "yoga truck" This is similar to a food truck with people being tweeted the night before as to where a outdoor yoga class will be. I need to find outdoor spots through Los Angeles (Griffith Park, Runyan Canyon) or cool flat spaces where people would not normally think to do yoga (Los Angeles County Museum of Art). I am willing to go as far as Pasadena, Downtown, the beaches, Hollywood Hills, Westside and Malibu.

Clover Park in Santa Monica has these sorts of grassroots events all the time.

The Sepulveda dam has a vast, flat concrete apron. You could do yoga with about ten thousand people on it. It is a little industrial-looking though...

You're overthinking this. Virtually any park in the city will have a patch of flat where you can do yoga. Something like LACMA would probably be a hassle -- meaning, they're not just going to let you drive up and start a yoga class on their patio. The park behind the museum? SURE!
And as an Angeleno, I'd love a yoga truck! So pick some parks across the city and go for it.

Just about any park in Santa Monica or on the westside. I bet if you talked with the food trucks on twitter you could do lunchtime yoga classes for us office drones, and some food trucks would turn up to feed people immediately afterwards. I know that the Dosa Truck hangs out at a yoga place a lot.
Also check out the food truck lots that are organised by the SoCalMFVA, there's one near LAX, one downtown, and possibly others I haven't noticed. If you team up with the food trucks you get the benefit of shared word-of-mouth through twitter, people walking past and discovering you, knowledge of the popular places to stop, and so on.
