Topic: Playa Del Rey


  
  History of Playa del Rey California
Del Rey Lagoon formed the southwest corner of the 13,920 acre (15 square miles) Rancho La Ballona that stretched inland from the ocean into what is now Palms and Culver City and north to Pico Boulevard in Santa Monica.
While Playa del Rey was considered a modest success in attracting day tourists, it proved to be Abbot Kinney's inspiration and served as an example of a resort that wasn't large enough in scope to attract investors or excite the public.
While Playa del Rey has since grown into a bedroom community along the beach, much of the lagoon was lost when Ballona Creek was channelized in 1938 by the Army Corp of Engineering, and when the Marina del Rey's wide entrance channel cut the lagoon in the early 1960's.

  Playa del Rey, Los Angeles, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the City of Los Angeles, Playa del Rey is the section of beachfront just south of the Ballona Wetlands and Ballona Creek and Marina del Rey; thus, the beach population is divided here.
For beachgoers, one danger is the uncontrolled water runoff from the creek, and the occasional overflow from the giant Hyperion treatment plant to the south.
A bridge between Playa Del Rey and the jetty between Ballona Creek and the Marina is accessible to foot traffic and bicycle traffic, but not to automobiles.
