Lafayette Park Recreation Center

T

he Lafayette Park Recreation Center is a result of the
historic public-private partnership between Heart of
Los Angeles (HOLA) and the
City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks to transform Lafayette Park
into a versatile campus providing academic, arts, recreation, and athletic programs
to the surrounding underserved community. The project replaces a 3,700-square-foot
senior center. In 2006, Mitch Moore, founder of HOLA, Tony Brown, HOLA executive
director, and Jon Kirk Mukri, general manager of the City of Los Angeles Department
of Recreation and Parks, met to discuss
their common interest: to create a model
public-private partnership to build out and

sustain parks and recreation centers in underserved areas. Since both organizations
were serving the same population, HOLA
and the City of Los Angeles Department of
Recreation and Parks agreed to come together to transform the park into something
that would invigorate the neighborhood.
Once they formed their partnership,
HOLA and L.A. Recreation & Parks set out to
raise additional funds that would be needed to not only complete this project, but also
add new learning spaces and many other
state-of-the-art enhancements. In 2007, they
achieved their goal by combining Prop K,
Prop 12, and Quimby funds with a private $1
million dollar gift from the Everychild Foundation. More than $2 million was raised from
the private sector funds that also included

the W.M. Keck Foundation, Weingart Foundation, Skirball Foundation, Anthem Blue
Cross Foundation, and the Los Angeles Lakers Youth Foundation. The money raised has
enabled HOLA and the City of Los Angeles
Department of Recreation and Parks to provide expanded programming support so
that thousands of at-risk youth will receive
exceptional classes and programs for free,
in addition to a variety of affordable, low cost
high quality classes for all ages.
