Local Hangout in LA You’ll Actually Like
I went to Lafayette Recreation Center in Los Angeles and had a great afternoon. There’s a basketball court, playground, and open spaces where people hang out or play sports. They also host local fairs, which make the place even more fun. I even joined a pickup game for a bit and it was so cool.
