Parks for Potluck Gatherings

@Zenzo

Los Angeles County Parks & Recreation has a lot of great facilities to host get-together potlucks.

Whittier Narrows Recreation Area has large fenced-off picnic shelters that you could rent on the side of a lake. I believe these are for rental only though. Alondra Park & Castaic Lake also have a large picnic shelters near lakes too. Castaic is somewhat away from town though.

@Zenzo Here are a few other unique & somewhat large picnic shelters and decent free parking - also w/LACO Parks:

• Oak tree picnic area (built in the 1930s) at Arcadia Community Regional Park in Arcadia
• Concrete hyperbolic paraboloid picnic shelter (mid-century modern) at City Terrace in NE Los Angeles
• Picnic shelter with an amazing view of San Pedro harbor (where shipping containers dock for unloading) and the LA Basin at Deane Dana Friendship Natural Area Park on the east side of the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
