Make LA the best place to PLAY
One of five LA2050 Goals
Our region is a place where people of all ages have easy access to clean, safe, and sustainable venues to enjoy the natural environment, arts and cultural resources, and local beaches, waterways, and open space.

From the Mountains to the Sea growing Civic Art Gardens with schools along the LA River
We will produce a Civic Arts and Engagement Program connecting communities and cultures by creating, cultivating and sustaining "art gardens" (serving as outdoor classrooms, meeting places, art studios, urban gardens) in public open spaces along the LA River. In partnership with adjacent schools representing a diversity of people and environments, we’ll show how to bring more Beauty to civic spaces and build community through creating healthy and happy places for people of all ages to “play”.
