In these difficult times, we've heard from countless Angelenos who've been able to find both comfort and community in their favorite city parks. Perhaps in recent months you've hiked at Runyon Canyon, played soccer at MacArthur Park, picnicked at Pt. Fermin Lighthouse, or flown kites at Venice Beach.

Whatever way you've been using your favorite park, we hope its made a positive impact in your life and for your community. Our 450 city parks are there for all of us, and they each help make our city a better place to live, work, and play.

What has the LA Parks Foundation been up to?

Los Angeles Park Forests: Planting groves of mature trees in city parks throughout L.A. to offset our carbon footprint, cool surface air temperatures, and educate the public about climate change.

COVID-19 Emergency Support: Raising essential resources for temporary homeless shelters, safe summer camps for working families, and daycare for the children of emergency workers.

Alternative Learning Centers: Providing essential learning equipment and technology to young students at our city's recreation centers while LAUSD facilities remain closed for the pandemic.

Environmental Sustainability: Installing fifteen new blue receptacles as part of Griffith Parks first-ever recycling program in a new partnership with Coke.
