Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation is debuting its new 24-hour online registration system, ActiveNet. You can now reserve picnic tables, register for virtual or in-person classes, or fulfill any other recreation need from the comfort of your home through this quick and easy-to-use system. Your family can use one account to schedule all its L.A. County Parks and Recreation activities. This is a huge benefit for families since all registration and reservations are now required to be conducted online.

For those wondering how to sign up for programs online, L.A. County Parks is here to help! ActiveNet tutorials and “How To” videos are available to view at https://parks.lacounty.gov/reserve/. Scroll down and you will find videos on how to register for a class or activity, how to create an account, and how to make a reservation. English and Spanish language versions are available for all videos.

If you need further assistance, you are invited to attend one of our in-person “How To” workshops. You will learn how to create an account, add family members, sign up for activities and navigate ActiveNet from your mobile phone. All accounts require an email address. If you don’t have an email address, we can help you to create one.

In-person workshops will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., beginning Tuesday Aug. 31 and continuing through Thursday Sept. 16. Workshops are offered in Spanish at designated locations.

Can’t make it to an in-person workshop? We have ActiveNet virtual workshops available on Tuesday, Aug. 31 and Wednesday Sept. 1.
