What if we could transform one of LA’s least used freeways into…
A large new park on the Westside
4,000 new units of affordable housing
A reconnected community with a rapid bus and bike path
Marina Central Park can be a symbol for sustainability, walkability, and improved quality of life
The 90 Freeway, or Marina Expressway, was originally planned as a 41 mile freeway traveling along Slauson through central Los Angeles, terminating in Anaheim.
Only a small 3 mile western stub was built along Centinela Creek. The underutilized freeway disrupts precious wetlands, creates pollution, and divides the community of Del Rey in half.
Marina Central Park proposes transforming the freeway right of way into high quality park space and dense affordable housing.
Marina Central Park is a massive opportunity for LA, a city that is one of the most park poor and housing burdened cities in California. It would reconnect a currently divided street grid with new access to Centinela Creek, a new linear path and green space, the existing Ballona Creek trail, and the Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve.
