SLATE-Z implemented the City of LA's Summer Night Lights (SNL) at three parks located in the Promise Zone. SNL is a public-private partnership led by the City's Gang Reduction Youth Development (GRYD) to keep recreation centers and parks open through extended hours in the summer as part of a comprehensive strategy to increase community resiliency to the influence of gangs and gang violence.
