LA County Parks announce Monday and Tuesday closure due to hurricane
The Los Angeles County Parks system announced Saturday that all county parks, buildings, and facilities will be closed Monday and Tuesday as the region braces for heavy rains, potential flooding and high winds from Hurricane Hilary.
All parks programs and classes as well as aquatic centers, beaches, playgrounds, restrooms and trails will closed, according to a statement issued Saturday.
“The LA County Parks staff have been working around the clock in preparation of Hurricane Hilary and will remain at parks to monitor safety conditions and impact,” the statement said.
“While parks are not fenced in, visitors are encouraged to stay home,” the parks department said.
Sunday’s My Morning Jacket and Fleet Foxes concert at the Hollywood Bowl has also been postponed. The concert will now take place on Monday, August 28, the iconic outdoor venue announced on its website Saturday afternoon.
