About Us

Mission

The mission of the Community Services Department is creating and celebrating a healthy and vibrant community.

The Community Services Department is comprised of Recreation and Human Services, and works closely with the Garden Grove Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Community Services Department programming can be seen and experienced throughout Garden Grove. Enriching the quality-of-life for residents and others takes on a myriad of forms, including offering health, wellness, and leisure classes to all ages in parks and City facilities; staging community-wide special and cultural events; producing local, award-winning cable television programming and videos; communicating valuable and impactful City information to all audiences; and providing critical resources and support to underserved families.
