The City of LA Department of Recreation and Parks is dedicated to enhancing the welfare of our community through a wide range of programs and services offered at over 420 parks citywide. Despite the economic downturn, our outstanding employees remain committed to providing the essential programs that our citizens rely on. The department has faced budget reductions since 2007, which have impacted every aspect of our operations.

However, we are determined to maintain the quality and quantity of our core program mission. To achieve this, we actively seek partnerships with non-profit organizations to minimize the impact of budget shortfalls. Additionally, we are focused on the future and addressing the needs of our growing population.

We aim to increase accessible park space and remove physical barriers to ensure every child has easy access to open space. We are proud of our dedicated staff who work tirelessly to provide active programmed recreation and maintain the safety and cleanliness of our facilities.
