Parks Bureau provides law enforcement services for the 180 County parks, golf courses, Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles County Arboretum, South Coast Botanic Gardens, Castaic and Pyramid Lakes, County trails and recreation areas throughout Los Angeles County.
Parks Bureau is divided into three zones, North, South and East, which basically mirrors the County Department of Park and Recreation divisions.
