YVONNE B. BURKE PARK
Opened in 1985, Yvonne B. Burke Park is located along Admiralty Way. The 8-acre linear park begins across from the Lloyd Taber-Marina del Rey County Library and extends to Parking Lot 7.
Formerly known as Admiralty Park, it was renamed in April 2009 to honor Los Angeles County Supervisor Yvonne B. Burke on her retirement after 16 years of service representing the Second District. Upgrades to the park were completed in 2018.
The park features a par course fitness circuit with exercise equipment to provide users with the opportunity for a full-body workout. 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. Other site furnishings like benches, drinking fountains and pet stations invite patrons to enjoy the Marina’s spectacular views and provide a warm welcome to users of all ages, as well as their canine companions.
The Marvin Braude Bike Trail also 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.
AUBREY E. AUSTIN JR. PARK
Aubrey E. Austin Jr. Park has a paved walkway out to the ocean end of the north jetty that is a favorite of joggers and fishermen. Beachgoers can walk along the jetty to reach the Marina peninsula.
There is also a quiet spot (shown above) overlooking the Marina’s main channel. Both the jetty walkway and the overlooks are stroller and wheelchair-accessible.
MARINA DEL REY WETLAND PARK
Opened in 2022, the 1.46-acre Marina del Rey Wetland Park is a public tidal wetland and upland park with a public walking path, observation areas and educational signage.
The 0.75-acre restored tidal salt marsh supports native plants adapted for life in wetlands that are submerged up to twice daily by the tides. Visitors may catch a glimpse of a snowy egret, western sandpiper or even a great blue heron.
EDGINGTON PARK
This park is a memorial for Harold L. Edgington, a dedicated Harbor Patrol officer who gave his life in the line of duty.
