The 2025 City of Los Angeles Park Needs Assessment (PNA) is a roadmap to better meeting Angelenos’ park needs in the coming decades. It brings together deep community engagement, innovation in data collection and mapping, and the lived realities of communities
around the City.
The PNA acknowledges the wealth of amenities and experiences available to residents across more than 16,000 acres of public parkland as well as the breadth of benefits residents receive from these vast resources everyday. At the same time, the PNA brings to light where current resources fall short in providing equitable access, amenities, staffing, and funding.
