 LOS ANGELES COUNTY, Calif. (Sept 12, 2024) The County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation (LA County Parks) is hosting community meetings this month at 67 parks and nature center locations across the county. All community members are invited to fill out surveys at the meetings to help shape the future of their local park’s programs and services.

As residents who know their neighborhoods best, community members’ suggestions and comments are essential for LA County Parks to plan changes, improvements, and future programs and parks. Those who complete a survey also can enter a raffle for a prize drawing.

“These listening sessions give the public a chance to share their comments and ideas directly to our LA County Parks staff,” said Norma Edith García-Gonzalez, Director, LA County Parks.  “We want to start a conversation with the people we serve. It’s also an opportunity for our park staff to meet park users and describe our plans and projects. These lively discussions with our visitors, residents and neighbors help inspire and inform our work.”

Free attendee-friendly options available:

  • Light snacks
  • Language translations available
  • Childrens’ activities
