Every Body Plays Returns: LA County Parks Reboots Popular After-School Program with New Activities

Starting September 2, families can enjoy free, action-packed after-school programming at 59 park locations across Los Angeles County

LOS ANGELES (August 25, 2025) — The County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation (LA County Parks) is excited to announce the return of Every Body Plays, a refreshed and reimagined after-school program for youth ages 7 to 17. Launching on September 2, 2025, and running through May 22, 2026, the free program will take place Monday through Friday from 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at 59 LA County Parks locations.

Every Body Plays offers families a safe, supportive and welcoming space where kids and teens can play, create, explore and thrive after school. This year’s reboot brings an exciting lineup of hands-on, minds-on activities, including Homework Help, Tech Labs, Themed Arts & Crafts, Sports & Fitness, Outdoor Adventures, Movies in the Park, ESTEAM Activities, Holiday and Cultural Events, and Field Trips. Healthy snacks will also be provided daily at all sites.

“We’re proud to show up for kids and families across LA County,” said Norma E. García-González, Director of the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation. “Our revitalized Every Body Plays program offers safe, engaging after-school options that support working families while giving kids and youth fun and enriching experiences that spark creativity, build confidence, and inspire growth—inside and out. Best of all, it’s completely free for families.”

With a focus on exploration, connection, and personal development, Every Body Plays empowers youth to learn new skills, build friendships, and make lasting memories, all in their own neighborhood park. Registration is now open. Families are encouraged to sign up early to reserve their child’s spot in this exciting program.
