Marina
"Mother's" Beach
Marina Beach is also
called "Mother's Beach". It's a favorite of mothers
with children because there is no surf. There are climbing gyms
and even a pirate ship for the kids. Restaurants and hotels are
next to the beach, as well as picnic shelters.
Overview of Marina del Rey Development and Renovation Projects
Marina "Mother's" Beach Strategic
Plan
Public Presentation: Jan. 26, 2006, 6:30pm,
DCB meeting
The Department
has tasked T. Keith Gurnee, RRM Design, one of the Department's
urban design consultants to develop a strategic plan for Marina
("Mother's) Beach. The beach is frequented by many different "user
groups", including rowers, kayakers, families with small children,
and others. It is also surrounded by commercial development, with
various redevelopment projects proposed. The Department is seeking
to improve the public access and water activities, including the
improvement of a public promenade along the road currently primarily
used as a service road and the addition of park space. Mr. Gurnee
has made presentations to both the Design Control Board and Beach
Commission and continues to seek input from the many stakeholders
that use Marina "Mother's" Beach while he refines and adds details
to the plan.
The revised plan will be available for public
review at the January 26, 2006 meeting of the Design Control Board,
which will be held at 6:30pm at Burton Chace Park Community Building,
13650 Mindanao Way, Marina del Rey, 90292. The public is invited
to attend. One or two months later, at another DCB meeting, the
preferred plan will be presented. Written comments may be sent
to the Department of Beaches and Harbors, 13483 Fiji Way, Trailer
#3, Marina del Rey, CA 90292.
