Los Angeles City Parks 🏀⛳️🎨🌳
We are ! ADA Statement in link below ⬇️
https://linktr.ee/LAParks The City's first playground was opened within a year.

A department of Parks was included in the City's first Freeholder Charter, adopted in 1889. Placed under its jurisdiction were parks and public land that had been set aside for the perpetual use of the community in the original Spanish land grants. Parks on this land are now called the Plaza, Pershing Square and Elysian Park. Los Angeles established the first municipal Playground and Recreation Department in the United States in 1904. A Charter amendment adopted in 1947 consolidated the Department of Parks and the Department of Playgrounds and Recreation into the Department of Recreation and Parks, combining facilities and services of both.
