Events in LA County parks require permits from the Department of Parks and Recreation. Events expecting 100+ attendees or generating $5,000+ in fees need a Facility Use Agreement. Smaller events use a standard Facility Use Permit (Form P&R-82).
LA County Department of Parks and Recreation manages event permitting for all 183 county parks across 70,000+ acres. Events expecting more than 100 attendees or with estimated fees exceeding $5,000 require a Facility Use Agreement or Special Events Agreement. Smaller events may use a standard Facility Use Permit (Form P&R-82). Permit applications should be submitted 30-90 days in advance depending on event size. Requirements include liability insurance naming the County as additional insured, a site plan, security plan for large events, and compliance with park hours (typically dawn to dusk). Alcohol at park events requires additional permits and approval. Sound amplification must comply with County noise standards. Commercial filming in parks requires a separate film permit through the LA County Film Office.
Unpermitted events in county parks may result in event shutdown, trespassing citations, and bans from the park system. Damage to park facilities is charged to the permit holder's security deposit.
