Recreation department spokespersons in a number of cities said most summer programs have been canceled while others said summer events were on hold pending state and county health department directives.

Spokespersons at recreation departments in Alhambra, Bell, Bell Gardens, Cudahy and Huntington Park said summer events were canceled as of May 18 pending updates from state and  county health department.

Huntington Park Communications Officer Paulina Velasco said the City Council has recently extended its stay-at-home law indefinitely, meaning no outside events such as the traditional Memorial Day and July 4 celebrations and outdoor programs are off, at least until further notice.

Plans for summer concerts at Furman Park are also on hold, a Downey spokesperson said, although virtual space and science-themed classes are planned for the Columbia Memorial Space Center with staff members interacting with campers via computer, at specific points in the day, another spokesperson said.

In South Gate, interim Parks and Recreation Director Steve Costley said the traditional July 4 carnival and fireworks show in South Gate Park are canceled, but other programs are on hold pending state and county actions.
