City of Los Angeles · Los Angeles County · November 3, 2026
The question on your ballot
Shall the City Charter be amended to increase the minimum budget allocated to the Department of Recreation and Parks, phased in over ten years until it is double the current minimum budget allocation, with exceptions for fiscal emergencies?
In plain language
Measure PRK is a Los Angeles city charter change. It is about park funding. A YES vote would raise the smallest amount of money the city must give the Department of Recreation and Parks each year. This minimum would slowly double over ten years, except during fiscal emergencies. A NO vote keeps the current minimum funding level.
