The Mission of ELARC is to create opportunities for consumers to have integrated life experiences and to promote community-oriented lifestyles. To this end, ELARC encourages consumers to engage in social and recreational activities within their local communities. Examples of these activities include sports, hobbies, leisure, education, clubs, fitness, and the arts. The programs providing such activities are designed to teach specific skills, but also enhance socialization skills, develop friendships and provide good, clean, fun! Below is a listing of links to recreation departments or specific programs within ELARC’s catchment area that provide recreational activities to the general public: Parks & Recreation programs/centers Alhambra - http://www.cityofalhambra.org/government/parks_recreation/ Commerce - http://www.ci.commerce.ca.us/parks.htm Eagle Rock - http://www.laparks.org/grifmet/north/eaglerock.htm El Sereno - http://www.laparks.org/dos/reccenter/facility/elSerenoRC.htm La Mirada - http://www.cityoflamirada.org/ Los Angeles - http://www.laparks.org/dept.htm Montebello - http://www.cityofmontebello.com/services/parks/parks.htm Monterey Park - http://www.ci.monterey-park.ca.us/home/index.asp?page=30 Pico Rivera - http://www.pico-rivera.org/ourcommunity/recreationprog.html Rosemead - http://www.cityofrosemead.org/Recreation/tabid/59/Default.aspx San Gabriel - http://www.sangabrielcity.com/cityservices/parksandrec/index.shtml San Marino - http://www.ci.san-marino.ca.us/recreation.htm Santa Fe Springs - http://www.santafesprings.org/depts/community_serv/parks/default.asp South Pasadena - http://www.ci.south-pasadena.ca.us/parks/index.html Temple City - http://www.ci.temple-city.ca.us/parksrec.asp Whittier - http://www.whittierch.org/ Other programs American Youth Soccer Organization - http://www.soccer.org/ Boys & Girls Clubs of America - http://www.bgca.org/ California State Parks - http://www.parks.ca.gov/ Griffith Park - http://www.laparks.org/dos/parks/griffithPK/griffith.htm YMCA - http://www.ymca.net Shane’s Inspiration - http://www.shanesinspiration.org/ Shane's Inspiration develops Universally Accessible Playgrounds that allow children with disabilities to play side-by-side with their able-bodied peers.
