Help Save La Jolla Recreation Center from Closing!
The La Jolla Rec Center isn't just a building—it's where our community actually connects. After decades of being the heart of San Diego, it's now facing closure, and honestly, I can't imagine what we'd lose.
This place is everything to families like mine. It's where kids run safely in the middle of the city, where we've made lifelong friends, where my children learned to play sports and celebrated countless holidays. The rec has hosted events that bring neighbors together—Christmas celebrations with hot cocoa, Easter egg hunts, movies in the park. The staff knows your kids by name and has a bandaid ready when they need one. We've even watched kids and seniors become friends over pickle ball and basketball.
I started this petition because losing the La Jolla Rec Center would devastate more than just families—it would hurt local businesses, eliminate jobs, and strip away one of the few truly inclusive spaces where everyone belongs. The question I keep asking myself: what do we tell our kids when their safe place to play is gone?
If you or your family have benefited from a rec center, or if you think your community needs these spaces, this one's worth fighting for. If this matters to you too, consider signing and sharing with others. 💙💙💙
