Community Spaces – Living Infrastructure Field Kit

The Community Spaces data layer displays where community spaces are located throughout L.A. County.

Community spaces are valuable for bringing residents together, creating a shared identity, and promoting social resilience through events, education, and activities. Certain community spaces are designated as emergency locations during climate events, such as cooling stations during heatwaves. You can use this data layer to identify locations with fewer community spaces, indicating where more investment is needed.

When you add the Community Spaces layer to the map, you will see the following sublayer:

Colleges and Universities

Community Organizations

Cooling Centers

Farmers Markets

Places of Worship

Private and Charter Schools

Public Elementary Schools

Public High Schools

Public Middle Schools
