Project Scope: The proposed project would include renovation of an existing 1,320 square foot restroom and a vacant office building, upgrades to the boat storage area to increase storage capacity, modifications to the existing walkway along the facility’s perimeter adjacent to Palawan Way. The project also encompasses stormwater capture and filtration systems to advance water quality improvement goals for the Marina. Bike racks, seat walls, designated scooter parking, a new lengthened ADA ramp and ADA mat for accessible water access, and a new water bottle refill station and picnic table would also be installed at the site. In addition, part of a fence adjacent to a neighboring pocket park would be removed to provide better pedestrian connectivity between the two areas.

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.
Description
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.
