Hi all, hope everybody continues to be healthy and well. Just wanted to announce that Redondo Together is strong. We have continued to delivery groceries bimonthly to an elderly couple in section 8 housing here in Redondo. If you know anybody who has fallen behind, needs help, and the government's social safety net is not cutting it - please have them email me at support@redondotogether.com.
On an aside, another week goes by where this City does nothing to recognize the importance of the historic Black Lives Matter movement. It's not a movement that says that black lives matter more than others; it's one that says that all lives matter, and we as a country have just ignored black ones and let them suffer for too long. When will you do something?
Thank you all for all your work, time, and dedication you have for the City of Redondo Beach.
As the skatepark development is moving forward, I ask that you visit the following parks as part of your due diligence on potential placements of a skate park. By visiting these parks, you will get a better sense of the suitability of the skatepark for Anderson Park, Franklin Park or other park/locations.
Please visit these parks at both times 5pm and 9pm.
1. Harbor City Skatepark – Already developed skatepark by Spohn Ranch
2. Franklin Park – potential site
3. Anderson Park – potential site
It is important to physically visit these parks as it gives you proper due diligence. In particular, listen for the existing noise and the potential impact.
I visited Harbor City Skatepark on August 10th at 7pm and 9pm. At 7pm, the park was crowded with around 100 people, lots of noise, litter, and the smell of marijuana. At 9pm, the lights were off, but there were a dozen skaters with flashlights and noise. Keep in mind that Harbor City Skatepark has a lot of existing ambient noise because it borders Lomita Boulevard which is a busy street.
Franklin Park is probably one of the quietest parks in Redondo Beach for a park it’s size as there is no ambient noise. The park borders residential homes on the 2700 block of Fisk Lane, 2700 block of Ralston Lane, and residential homes bordering on the east side. The west side will be soon occupied and redeveloped by the Friendship Foundation.
Anderson Park is larger than Franklin Park. Anderson Park is in a residential neighborhood and has ambient noise during the day from the baseball field, tennis courts, Lincoln Elementary, and South Bay Adult Center.
Again, I encourage you to visit all three parks at 5pm and 9pm so that you can make an informed decision regarding the skatepark.
