The City of Los Angeles is excited to begin work on updating its Park Needs Assessment for the first time since 2009. The Park Needs Assessment will be a roadmap to just and fair capital investment in parks and recreation and equitable connections to quality parks and recreation, to meet current and future needs of residents! Here is a link to the Phase 1 Survey Results. There is a new Summer 1025 Survey – please take a few minutes to fill this out! There are 3 remaining in-person community meetings and a final Zoom meeting 7/1/2025. Check website for dates, times, and to access prior supplementary materials, meeting recordings, etc.
Our Los Angeles City parks have been severely underfunded since about 2009 when the City began a full “cost recovery program” Here is a link to an article regarding the situation. In any event – please fill out the survey and try to attend a meeting. We need more funding for Park Rangers, maintenance, and expanding our park system to serve the needs of 4,000,000 Angelenos.
