This Department basically oversees local and community parks in unincorporated County areas. (For the most part, where there are incorporated cities, they operate their own park systems.) In addition, the County operates several large, regional facilities of a countywide draw such as Castaic Lake, Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park, the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area, Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area, Kenneth Hahn Recreation Area, four Arboreta and Botanic Gardens – the Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden, Descanso Gardens, the South Coast Botanic Garden and the Virginia Robinson Gardens – as well as many natural areas and wildlife / wildflower sanctuaries. The Department also has jurisdiction over 19 golf courses on 17 sites, located throughout the County and maintains over 300 miles of multipurpose riding and hiking trails.
