EMPOWERING LIVES, BUILDING FUTURES
The Los Angeles County Parks Foundation (LACPF) is a leading nonprofit dedicated to protecting and revitalizing public parks across LA County. Since the devastating January 2025 wildfires, we’ve mobilized communities, coordinated recovery efforts.
Who We Are
The Los Angeles County Parks Foundation (LACPF) is a leading nonprofit dedicated to protecting and revitalizing public parks across LA County. We provide leadership and funding to support park upgrades, youth and wellness programs, and emergency replanting efforts after natural disasters.
Our Impact
Since the January 2025 wildfires, LACPF has led a coordinated response to assess, fund, and oversee recovery projects in key parks across the County. From fire-damaged playgrounds to entire landscapes needing replanting, our work focuses on long-term, community-driven impact.
