What is the park needs assessment?
The County of Los Angeles is conducting a countywide assessment of the need for parks and recreation in both cities and unincorporated areas. The goal of the Park Needs Assessment is to engage all communities within the County in a collaborative process togather data and input for future decision-making on parks and recreation. The Park Needs Assessment will increase our understanding of existing park and recreation assets, and help us to determine how to improve, expand, and make them more accessible. Specifically, the final
report will determine Study Areas and will identify, prioritize and outline costs for potential park projects within each Study Area. Download this PDF for more information.
For more information additional PDFs are available for download as well as the Needs Assessment website at: LACountyParkNeeds.org

Study after study has shown that access to well-maintained parks increases physical activity among both children and adults, and that parks are essential to safe, thriving communities.
LA County has an urgent need for more parks and recreational facilities in our underserved park-poor communities. It’s a vital health issue for these communities where obesity, diabetes, hypertension and heart disease are increasing at alarming rates. Come to a Stakeholder Workshop that will help define the role of parks in building healthy, thriving and engaged neighborhoods. Learn more about how the County and 88 cities are taking stock of our parks, recreations facilities and open space—and what kind of shape they’re in. Get informed about how your community can make an impact and take part in the 200 park assessment community meetings starting in December. This is a once-in-a-generation chance to shape the priorities for how and where park funding will go for the next several decades.
