Palisades Rec Center Reborn | Los Angeles News

The Palisades Recreation Center, destroyed in January 2025, is rising from the ashes with a $50M+ rebuild fueled entirely by private donations — the largest public-private partnership ever led by LA’s Department of Recreation and Parks. Set to reopen in 14-16 months, the revamped 17-acre hub features two indoor basketball courts, pickleball courts, expanded event spaces, and a transformed outdoor park complete with a two-level playground, lit basketball courts, a youth soccer field, terraced seating, shaded lounges, an upgraded Veterans Garden, and bocce courts. Spearheaded by JJ Redick and LA Strong Sports alongside city and Steadfast LA, this project embodies community resilience and collaboration — turning tragedy into a vibrant, inclusive gathering place for all.
