Bike path and Par Course in Yvonne B. Burke Park

 

In April, 2009, Admiralty Park was renamed Yvonne B. Burke Park, to honor Supervisor Burke's retirement after 16 years of service representing the Second District of the County of Los Angeles.

Shown in the photo above at the renaming ceremony are:
former Los Angeles City Councilman Nate Holden,
Third District Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky,
Fourth District Supervisor Don Knabe,
Dr. William Burke (Yvonne's husband),
Yvonne Braithwaite Burke,
Autumn Burke (Yvonne's daughter),
and former Los Angeles City Mayor Richard Riordan.

Yvonne B. Burke Park, located adjacent to Admiralty Way, has a free ParCourse Fitness Circuit on the grassy area of the park. Each station has a sign that describes an exercise, and the park is lit for night workouts. Choose one station or do the entire course - it's your decision.

The Beach Bike path (Marvin Braude Beach Bikeway) runs through the park. This bike path extends from Pacific Palisades to Torrance, with beautiful views of the ocean and Marina del Rey. There are many restaurants and shops along the path to stop and take in the view.
