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!

Neighborhood Councils

City of LA Neighborhood Councils are an important part of this project because they have a great sense of Park Needs in their neighborhoods!

We have requested a short report from each of the 99 Neighborhood Councils that includes their priorities. Councils can choose to submit a report, which is requested no later than June 2, 2025. Each Neighborhood Council received an email request. If you cannot locate your neighborhood council’s email request, please let us know at LACityParksNeeds@theolinstudio.com.

We are presenting to the LA Neighborhood Council Coalition at the April 4, 2025, standing meeting.
