The Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation has brought back Parks After Dark to Val Verde to bring the community together through April. 

Parks After Dark (PAD) returns this March with fun, free and safe recreational experiences ato bring teens, families and communities together at 34 L.A. County Parks for two evenings over Spring Break. 

Parks After Dark is an award-winning program designed to unite communities by activating park spaces with hands-on activities and entertainment that transforms local parks into safe havens, according to officials. 

The Spring edition of Parks After Dark kicks off Thursday, March 23 and runs through Saturday, April 15, bringing fun to local communities weekly on Thursday and Saturday nights from 6 to 9 p.m.

Parks After Dark is set to be at the Val Verde Park on Thursday, April 6 and Saturday, April 8, according to officials.

Attendees can come and experience an array of workshops and activities such as music, canvas painting, culinary art, family dances, arts and crafts and so much more, added officials. 

The Department of Parks and Recreation is dedicated to bringing the “World to You” through cultural performances sponsored by the Los Angeles Music Center. 

Each PAD site is set to feature an exclusive Teen Zone for youth ages 12-17 years old, where teenagers can engage in activities designed just for them, according to officials.  

Hands-on interactive activities include skateboard design, Just Dance on Nintendo Switch, music production and instrument lessons and silk screen shirt printing, all within their own teen lounge, stocked with a snack bar. 

The L.A. County Parks after Dark is possible due to the generosity of the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors – First District Supervisor Hilda L. Solis, Second District Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell, Third District Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath, Fourth District Supervisor Janice Hahn and Fifth District Supervisor Kathryn Barger and the Los Angeles Department of Social Services, added officials.
