Join Us to Dedicate the New Griffith Park Adult Community Center

This Thursday, Jan. 31, at 10 a.m. we'll be dedicating the new Griffith Park Adult Community Center with hundreds of seniors. This long-sought-after center, located next to Friendship Auditorium, will offer anyone 50 years or older a place to socialize, take classes, participate in a city-sponsored nutrition program and many other activities. Councilmember LaBonge and Dept. of Recreation and Parks general manager Jon Kirk Mukri will cut the ribbon alongside members of the Griffith Park Adult Community Club who were instrumental in seeing this facility come about. Refreshments will be served. The GPACC is located at 3201 Riverside Drive, across from the Mulholland Fountain at Riverside and Los Feliz Blvd.

Join Us for Griffith Park Tree Planting

The rains have returned, the ground is moist and so conditions are good for planting trees. Join Councilmember LaBonge and other volunteers to plant trees in the Cedar Grove area of Griffith Park this Saturday, January 12 at 8:30 a.m. This area of the park was particularly hard hit and the slopes were scorched, resulting in a severe loss of vegetation.
We'll assemble along Vista del Valle north of the Commonwealth nursery. We hope to see you Saturday!
