Eat, Play, Celebrate with LA County Parks
Eat, Play & Celebrate is a seasonal youth nutrition and enrichment program offered at select LA County Parks, providing warm meals, festive snacks, and opportunities for community connection. Designed for youth ages 0–18, the program helps ensure young people have access to free, nutritious food while enjoying a safe, welcoming space to gather, play, and celebrate together.
The Hot Supper Program offers free evening meals served Monday through Friday from 5:30 to 6:30 PM, running through February 20, 2026 at participating park locations. Meals may include a variety of nutritious, kid-friendly options such as tacos with beans, hamburgers with sweet potatoes, cheese tamales, pepperoni pizza, fresh fruit, and vegetables. All meals are provided at no cost to families.
In addition, Festive Friday Snack Packs are available on Fridays from 2:30 to 6:30 PM, continuing through April 17, 2026. Snack packs may include fresh fruit, granola bars, crackers, yogurt, trail mix, juice, and water—offering convenient, balanced options to support youth throughout the afternoon and early evening.
More than a meal program, Eat, Play & Celebrate creates opportunities for families and youth to come together at neighborhood parks, strengthening community bonds and promoting wellness in a positive, inclusive environment. All meals and snack packs are offered free of charge as part of LA County Parks’ ongoing commitment to food access, youth development, and community well-being.
Program availability and offerings may vary by park location. Families are encouraged to check with their local participating park for more information.
