Final Report

Unprecedented in scope and scale, the Countywide Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment quantifies the need for parks and recreation resources in Los Angeles County (cities and unincorporated areas) and estimates the potential cost of meeting that need.

The County Department of Parks and Recreation extends its deep appreciation to the thousands of individuals and dozens of organizations who contributed to the successful completion of the Parks Needs Assessment!

A two-page factsheet highlights the major findings of the Parks Needs Assessment and is available in multiple languages:
