2018 Holiday in the Parks

Every year since 2010, the Los Angeles Parks Foundation gives out 20 special grants to Recreation Centers throughout the city to support a holiday-themed event for their community. The resources we provide enable popular events such as Breakfast with Santa, Children’s Plays & Dance Recitals, Community Toy Giveaways, and Musical Performances. We strive to support recreation centers in high-need communities, and have thus far been able to reach over 80 recreation centers throughout the city.

Congratulations to the 2018 winners of the Holiday in the Parks Grant!
