Facility Rentals at the Audubon Center at Debs Park

For a truly unique rental experience - look no further than the Audubon Center at Debs Park!

Host your meeting or event at the Audubon Center at Debs Park!

Located in Northeast Los Angeles within Ernest E. Debs Regional Park, our site is a vibrant community hub dedicated to environmental stewardship—protecting birds, restoring habitat, and connecting people with nature. When you rent with us, your investment directly supports youth programs, conservation initiatives, and habitat restoration efforts across Los Angeles. The center itself is fully solar powered and built from recycled materials, with scenic hiking trails and open outdoor spaces that make the entire property feel like an escape from the city. 

We offer two indoor and three outdoor spaces, making our site ideal for meetings, team retreats, weddings, workshops, performances, and community events. Set within a beautiful natural landscape, our venue serves as a peaceful oasis in the city providing a calming environment that supports mental well-being and connection. 

Please note that pets are not permitted inside the center. As a conservation site, we work to create a safe and welcoming habitat for wildlife, and the presence and scent of domestic animals can disrupt and deter the species we aim to support. We ask you leave your furry friends at home.
