The Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (also commonly referred to as "RPOSD" or "the District"), was established to promote and protect the over 4,000 square miles of park and open spaces, including thousands of parks, recreation and community centers, beaches, senior centers, arboreta and botanic gardens and wildlife lands, in Los Angeles County for the enjoyment of residents and visitors.Since its formation, the District has awarded more than $1.5 billion in grants, which have been used for hundreds of projects in the community including the development and maintenance of walking, biking and hiking trails, senior centers, tree planting programs, playground and fitness equipment as well as the restoration of our rivers, streams and beaches. Our grants have and will continue to make life better in Los Angeles County by building stronger and safer neighborhoods, enriching recreational experiences, advocating equitable access to parks and open spaces, and preserving our natural spaces for this and future generations. By empowering initiatives that create, maintain, and improve our open spaces, RPOSD can help ensure that everyone in the Los Angeles County Region benefits from all that parks have to offer. This is all possible thanks to the Los Angeles County voters who approved Proposition A (1992 & 1996) and Measure A (2016) as well as the continuous support from the people of Los Angeles County.
