Park Events that Inspire Community Involvement

We find that parks bring a community together.

Community parks put in a lot of work year-round to make their recreational areas beautiful and enjoyable for everyone. What’s the point of putting in all that work if no one visits?

Inviting the Community to Your Park

Community parks put in a lot of work year-round to make their recreational areas beautiful and enjoyable for everyone. What’s the point of putting in all that work if no one visits? Well, you can invite the community out with community events no matter the season. From your commercial playground equipment specialists, here are some of the most popular community events you can host to bring awareness and foot traffic to your park, especially in a melting pot like Los Angeles.

Community Ideas for Every Season

Spring

Cleanup Gatherings
While many families are doing some spring cleaning around the house and Earth Day is on the horizon, spring is a refreshing time of year when people may be in the mood to help spruce up. A cleanup event is a great way to get the community involved by helping get your park ready for a busy warm season. Also, by inviting the community to lend a hand, they may also form a connection to your park, making them proud to visit in the future knowing they accomplished something on your grounds.

Field Day
A field day may take a lot of planning, but it is satisfying in the end to see all the smiles on every kid who comes. With activities and games for kids, a field day is a perfect way to get the community excited about your park. Make sure to offer inclusive games so that everyone can have fun regardless of ability.

Summer

Festivals
Los Angeles is thriving with so many creatives, and your park—having commercial playground equipment for kids to play on—is a wonderful venue to showcase what the local community has to offer. This is where local restaurants can share the most delicious flavors from around town. It’s a chance for artists to have a platform and for locals to bring something truly special and unique home. For many reasons, summer festivals are memorable, making people want to come back in the future.

Entertainment
With smartphones and unlimited streaming options online, it’s so easy to be entertained at home. That’s why it’s refreshing to have live entertainment available so the whole community can get outside and enjoy the company of each other. Your city’s residents can enjoy an amazing concert or bond over a familiar story with a family-friendly outdoor movie night.

Fall

Trunk-or-Treat
Whenever fall approaches, it’s an exciting time knowing the scarecrows and pumpkins are coming back out to play. Best of all, for those with a sweet tooth, it means that the holiday of candy is approaching. Trunk-or-treat is an easy event to organize where families can get in the spooky spirit by dressing up and collecting candy. This is a very community-focused event that families will love.

Pumpkin Decorating Contests
Who doesn’t love a good jack-o-lantern? The expressive little pumpkins can bring a smile to anyone’s face, especially when you’ve decorated them on your own. Bring the community together this autumn by organizing a pumpkin decorating contest. This would be perfect if included in a fall festival, similar to the summer festival mentioned before.

Winter

Gift Wrapping Gatherings
As the temperature drops, the hearts of countless people around the city warm up. One way to invite the community to give back is to host a gift wrapping event. For busy parents or clumsy hands, complimentary gift wrapping events are incredibly helpful and well-received this time of year.

Holiday Celebrations
With the winter season comes many holidays. From the December holidays, to New Years, to even Valentine’s Day, there are many opportunities to bring the community together. Make this a time of celebration as the community gathers at your park.
