Annual Father and Son Campout

Neff Park on Friday, August 17 through Saturday, August 18. Dads, uncles, grandfathers, sons, and nephews are invited to enjoy a fun night of bonding and taking part in camp activities under the stars.  Campers will bring and set up their own tents. The event includes a campfire, S’mores, crafts, games, and an outdoor movie.  Local Boy Scout Troop 438 will provide assistance with setting up tents and teaching campers scouting techniques such as knot tying. “Events like these are a fun way to build family and community relationships,” says Community Services Director Lori Thompson. The cost is $30 for the campsite for up to four people. Campers can bring their own grills and food or purchase food for $12 per person, which includes dinner and breakfast. Neff Park covers ten acres and includes three historic buildings, a gazebo, basketball court, tennis court, horseshoes pits, a playground, and picnic areas. The historic buildings include Neff Home, George House, and Neff Barn. Want to learn more about La Mirada’s history and the people who shaped the community? Take a tour of the Neff Estate.
