This is not an official City of Los Angeles web page.
The mission of the City of Los Angeles Park Ranger Division is to enrich the lives of the residents of Los Angeles by providing safe, welcoming parks and recreation facilities for people of all ages to play, learn, contemplate, build a sense of community, and be good stewards of our environment. Park Rangers, through careful efforts, protect those who are using parks and protect park resources so that future generations may enjoy them. Los Angeles City parks are open to the public from 5:00 am until 10:30 pm, unless otherwise posted. Several parks or designated areas have been authorized for sunset closure. Some park facilities offer equestrian trails for riding horses. Park space is usually available on a first-come, first-served basis for picnicking and other recreation opportunities, though in some instances a reservation may be required. Please inquire directly to the facility of interest for information prior to your visit. Park Rangers currently only provide service to Griffith Park, Runyon Canyon, Elysian Park, Hansen Dam, Debs Park, and Harbor Regional Recreation Area.
