Embrace the Beautiful L.A. Outdoors

Urban green spaces such as parks, woods, lakesides, and gardens give people the space for physical activity, relaxation, peace, and an escape from heat. Multiple studies have shown that these spaces reduce stress and boost mental and physical health, improving quality of life. These green spaces are an extremely important resource, especially for park-poor Angelenos and communities of color, who often do not have the ability to reach other natural public lands. Creating and renovating more of these urban green spaces can help to lessen health disparities among Angelenos, and even improve longevity. Los Angeles is blessed with lots of outdoor nature spaces and we want to improve those already existing, and create more of them, for the benefit of the community.
