Culver City Parks Task 8.1 Final Plan - Flipbook - Page 189
EL MARINO PARK
301 Berryman Ave., Culver City, CA 90232
EL MARINO PARK is a 1.6-acre neighborhood park
in the Sunkist Park neighborhood. The western
edge of the park is directly adjacent to El Marino
Elementary School and El Marino Turf Field. The
park has many liquidambar and Canary Island
pine trees and a passive recreation lawn. A popular
ceramics class is held in a ceramic hut in the park,
and PRCS owns the kiln and most of the equipment.
PRCS recently completed a playground renovation
here. El Marino is one of the few Culver City parks
which is fenced in, a quality noted as particularly
valuable by park users with small children.

SITE SPECIFIC PARK NEEDS
• There is no ADA walking path in this park.
• Picnic tables and rentable areas could be
better utilized, as there is one picnic area in
the middle of the field.
• Community members have noted that
demand for the ceramics class, which maxes
out at 10 participants, is much higher than
available slots. The scale of the facility limits
the number of participants, so a larger facility
could help assist with this. There is no longer
a need for the bathrooms on the outboard
side of this facility, so that could become
expansion space.
• Community members commented on
resurfacing the basketball court, refilling
the sandbox with sand rather than mulch,
and adding additional space for aftercare
programs.
