L.A. County Parks invites community members to sign up for a virtual or in-person recreational activity. It’s not too late to join the new slate of summer classes for all ages.
From Afro-Brazilian dancing to building a solar-powered vehicle, mastering Instagram to exploring the multicultural experience of Ttkana’, there are virtual classes to enjoy from the comfort of home, as well as in-person classes at local parks or recreation centers.
L.A. County resident June Jones enrolled in the Community Improv class in March, hoping the online course would bring a welcome diversion from the restrictions of the pandemic. Jones, 62, said she discovered a world of joy, led by her instructor Stephen Gillikin.
“Stephen is a great human being. He’s funny, he knows his stuff and he really cares about people,” Jones said. “Teaching comes so natural for him. I appreciate everything he has done for us. Especially during the pandemic, when so many people have been depressed by being stuck in the house. He has a gift, and his class has been a lifesaver for so many people.”
L.A. Parks offers a diverse range of classes and activities, including Arts and Culture; Computers and Technology; Exercise and Fitness; Health and Wellness; Martial Arts; Performing Arts; Music and Dance; Special Interest; and Sports.
Whether searching for a new hobby, looking to be more active or wanting to better connect with the community, L.A. County Parks has a suitable class or activity!
