Palos Verdes homes owners can join the National Celebration of Parks on Saturday, May 16, 2026, by taking their children to a park. This special Kids To Parks Day is a reminder of the importance that nature and playing in the great outdoors are for our children. This is a national day of outdoor play celebrated annually on the third Saturday of May. To celebrate this special day, our local parks have planned great activities for families to enjoy. Just bring your beach chairs and a picnic lunch and enjoy the planned activities.
