Summer Night Lights is an anti-gang initiative that keeps parks open after dark--during the peak hours for gang activity--with free food and expanded programming.

By empowering communities and targeting the traditionally most-violent summer months, Summer Night Lights has become a national model for violence reduction.

Since 2008, SNL has expanded from 8 parks to 24 citywide, leading to a 57% reduction in gang-related homicides in SNL neighborhoods. 

Violent gang activity in Los Angeles is heavily concentrated in scattered pockets throughout the city, and as a result 12 neighborhoods, or Gang Reduction Youth Development (GRYD) zones, have been identified where rates of violent gang-related crime are at least 400 percent higher then elsewhere in Los Angeles.

The 24 participating SNL parks are located in these neighborhoods.

2010 SNL ran from Wednesday, July 7 thru Saturday, September 4.

SNL hours were:

Wednesday 7pm -12 midnight
Thursday 7pm -12 midnight
Friday 7pm -12 midnight
Saturday 7pm - 12 midnight
