Southern California continues to reel from the devastating wildfires that ripped through Los Angeles County earlier this month, prompting questions about whether it will be ready to host the 2028 Olympics as planned.

The big picture: According to a National Recreational Park Association's (NRPA) 2025 trends report, indoor activities are expected to gain popularity as extreme weather persists nationwide.
