YVONNE B. BURKE PARK
Yvonne B. Burke Park opened in 1985 and 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 of the County of Los Angeles.
In October 2017, the Department of Beaches and Harbors began construction on the Yvonne B. Burke Park Improvements Project. The project, completed in May 2018, resulted in a refurbished par course fitness circuit, featuring new exercise equipment and surfacing, and providing users with the opportunity to complete 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.
New site furnishings, including seating benches, drinking fountains, pet stations, and park monument sign, 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.  Improvements to the park’s walkways and parking lot make the park more accessible, and upgraded native and drought tolerant landscaping make the park more sustainable.
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 lagoon. Both the jetty walkway and the overlook for the Marina lagoon are stroller and wheelchair-accessible.
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.
