Lot 4 is closed for construction as of December 1, 2025. For alternate lots, visit this map of LA County parking lots in Marina del Rey.
Description
As Marina del Rey’s popular events and recreational opportunities bring thousands of visitors to the Marina each year, there is an increased demand for accessible parking options. The Department of Beaches and Harbors is planning a new public parking structure at Lot 4 to help address this need and enhance the overall visitor experience.
The new parking structure will be built on a portion of Lot 4, located near the Marina del Rey Visitor Center at Admiralty Way and Mindanao Way. The three-level facility and surface lot will provide 368 parking spaces and operate 24 hours a day to better serve the Marina’s year-round activity.
The structure will feature a pay-and-display system with on-site pay stations for convenience. The design will incorporate accessible parking stalls in compliance with ADA requirements, electric vehicle charging stations, and a prominent civic art piece designed by the artist team FreelandBuck. The artwork will resemble abstracted sails placed along the façade of the parking structure facing Mindanao Way.
This investment supports the County’s broader vision for a more accessible, inclusive, and climate-ready Marina del Rey.

The Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors is improving the public Boat Launch Ramp Facility located at 13477 Fiji Way in Marina del Rey. These upgrades are designed to enhance safety, accessibility, and the overall user experience while ensuring the facility continues to serve the boating community for years to come.
Construction is anticipated to start at the beginning of Fall 2026 and finish in Summer 2027.
The project includes the replacement of the existing aging dock system and the construction of a new accessible queuing dock adjacent to the launch ramps. The new docks will be built within the existing facility footprint and designed to meet current County marina construction standards and the latest Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility requirements for public marina facilities.
In addition to the dock improvements, the project will enhance the surrounding landside facilities. Planned upgrades include the installation of Low Impact Development stormwater management features to improve water quality, as well as slurry sealing and restriping of the parking lot. These improvements will provide accessible parking spaces and improve circulation throughout the site.
Once completed, the project will deliver a modernized, more accessible, and environmentally responsible facility that better serves residents, visitors, and recreational boaters while supporting continued public access to Marina del Rey’s waterfront.

The Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors is improving the Parcel 77 Dock Facility in Marina del Rey to replace aging infrastructure and provide a safer, more accessible, and more functional waterfront facility for recreational boating.
The project is currently in plan check, with an anticipated construction start date in late 2027.
The project includes removal of the existing dock, piles, and gangways and construction of a new concrete dock system designed to meet current County marina standards and accessibility requirements. The new dock will support a variety of recreational activities, including kayaking, rowing, sailing, and other small vessel uses.
Planned improvements include new launch areas, boat slips, boarding areas, limited storage areas, upgraded utilities, lighting, safety features, and improved access throughout the facility. An ADA-compliant gangway will provide accessible entry from the adjacent parking area, while additional gangways will improve public access and support the movement of larger vessels.
Once complete, the Parcel 77 Dock Replacement Project will deliver a modernized and accessible boating facility that enhances safety, improves operations, and continues to support public recreation in Marina del Rey.
