Adopt-A-Park

The Los Angeles Parks Foundation invites local businesses, family foundations, schools, and corporate brands to partner with us to adopt one of our 450 city parks! The adoption donation will go to meet identified needs that can directly benefit a city park.

Past projects funded by park adoptions include a basketball court and baseball diamond resurfacing, funding for sports equipment and youth scholarships, program funding for dance and fitness classes, park benches, water fountains, and other needed improvements.

A park adoption begins with an investment of $25,000 depending on the size of the park.  The adoption extends over one year with the opportunity for a yearly renewal. The donor’s generous contribution is prominently acknowledged at the adopted park and celebrated with the local community.

Please contact tony@laparksfoundation.org or call (310) 472-1990 for further information regarding the Adopt-A-Park program. Thank you for helping us build community through our city parks. All donations are tax-deductible.


Current Park Adoptions

Hollenbeck Park Adoption: The Sikand Foundation

The Sikand Foundation’s 2022 Park Adoption funded the renovation of the community patio at Hollenbeck Recreation Center. This park adoption funded a fully resurfacing of the concrete patio and installation of a brand new guardrail, making the patio a safe and family friendly place for community members to host events. 

The Sikand Foundation has adopted Hollenbeck Park since 2021. 

In 2021 we planted 20 mature trees in the Park Forest at Hollenbeck Park, creating a green buffer zone along the park’s perimeter to mitigate noise and pollution from the adjacent freeway. Two years of comprehensive maintenance are included as part of this adoption.

Thank you to The Sikand Family for their generous support of Hollenbeck Park and the Boyle Heights community.
