Hahn celebrates parks grants with city representatives at the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration.

Los Angeles, CA – Today, Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn joined county and city leaders to announce that 17 cities and organizations in her district have been awarded $36 million in grants to build, plan, and improve parks, beach access, and open space.

Millions of dollars have been awarded to create new parks along the LA River in Southeast LA, a new botanical garden in Artesia, the restoration of South Beach in Avalon, and new trails in Huntington Park, Rancho Palos Verdes and Long Beach, and major park renovations in Cudahy, Bellflower, Norwalk and Torrance.

“Parks shouldn’t be a luxury – but too many people in LA County don’t have a local park in their neighborhood,” said Supervisor Janice Hahn. “Thanks to Measure A and the generosity of LA County voters, we are making this massive, historic investment in parks and open space across my district– from Southeast LA, to Long Beach, all the way to Catalina Island. I am so proud to have so many city leaders in my district who recognize the importance of parks and are working every day to improve parks and park access for our residents.”

Hahn and mayors and representatives from cities across the Fourth District gathered this morning for an event at the Hall of Administration where the county announced a total of $78 million in grant funding. The funding comes from Measure A, a voter-approved property tax passed by Los Angeles County voters in 2016 to expand and improve parks, open space, and the public health and environmental benefits they provide.
