burton w. chace park

This park is still an amazing place to watch the boats go by. I've made occasional visits for the last 20 years. I still pop by with a picnic, or include it in a walk through the Marina. I've seen Summer Camps, Tai Chi artists, and fireworks here. I've had tea, listened underwater for fish, and met travelers from all over. The sights and sounds leave you with a strong sense memory that lasts until you return. Handicapped accessible.

Sometimes it is nice just to stroll around rather than run to tourist spots, which sadly includes parts of the Venice Boardwalk these days. Chace Park is not that big, but it's a bit of greenery in the marina. In the summer, there are free concerts; you can take your own food and beverages.

We had some time to spare heading back to the airport and stopped by Marina Del Rey and enjoyed a nice stroll around the park. Great way to catch some rays and fresh air.

Quite large park. Very nice to take a stroll around and take in the sites and sea air. Nice view of the marina.

I lived a few blocks from Chace park in 2012 and always enjoyed the surroundings. We visited the park a few times while visiting in October. There are the great views of the Marina ... Great place to watch a sunset. Many summertime concerts. Lots of wildlife viewing from watching the Pelicans and cormorants fish or enjoying the antics of the sea lions. There are BBQ grills and ample places to lay out a blanket and watch the sailboats. Great place to walk and bring children. The only issue is the homeless which may congregate in the park.

I have been to this park on multiple occasions over the years. The first visit was just to find a place to watch the boats go out and come in in The Marina. I have attended a Family Reunion here and there were plenty of resources and facilities for that. I have also attended numerous Jazz Concertsat the Park and all but one was extremely enjoyable and memorable. Unfortunately, I have also attended one Jazz Concert here that was not as enjoyable. The artist, Roberta Flack, attracted a crowd of fans that exceeded the capacity that security could control. Other than this one situation, I have thoroughly enjoyed my visits to this park.

On one side of the sidewalk that goes along the park, one can see beautiful views of the Marina and on the other side is the green grassy park with calming shade trees. This is a lovely place to walk, exercise, walk your dog on a leash, or for friends and families to have a picnic or barbecue. Some built-in barbecue pits are provided. There is also a community room that can be rented for special occasions. The last time that I was there, a friend and I purchased barbecue lunches before going to the park and enjoyed eating them as we sat on a cement bench just talking and taking in all of the beauty around us.

lovely place to walk around... or take a picnic. Facilities to barbeque. Lots of seating area. Special to see the Sea Lions around the moored boats and able to get so close to them. A beautiful place to sit and watch the world go by....very relaxing!

Great voices and orchestra; lovely hillside setting overlooking marina. Just bring portable chairs or blankets, food & wine, and you're all set.

This park is just beautiful! Easy to reach by car or bicycle. Perfectly manicured lawns. Incredible views of the Marina. Plenty of places to have a picnic, a stroll with a furry loved one, or even gather for a family birthday or BBQ. There's a community center that I assume you can rent out and some days there's a little cafe that serves up basic food such as a turkey melt with fries. Yumm! Also a small fenced dog run area if Fido wants to be leash free while he does his business. It's not a huge park, but it's just so lovely, it's really worth a visit or two or three. The stark white gazebo-like trellis' are so striking in contrast with the green green grass and deep blue sky. Love it!

This is a nice park to walk in, with a visitors center at the entrance and in summer months there are outdoor concerts held there on Thursdays and Saturdays. There isn't a children's playground (but you can find that at Mother's Beach nearby) but if you are lucky you may see seals basking in the sun.

Located on the water in Maria Del Rey, Burton W. Chace Park is One of the nicest city parks I've been to. Lots of grass, a bbq area, a few picnic table here and there, and a pavillion for events. On a hot day in LA, the provided a nice respite for a Mothers' Day lunch on the grass.

Summer Jazz etc. Concert Series a must... 4th of July for Fireworks...any other time good to relax and view the boats in the marina. Food over-priced so bring your own picnic...

Another favorite park of mine. I've been going there since the '80's. Love to take my dog and just walk around there and skipon over to the beach area too!

Super little park at the end of one of the marina end-caps. There is an excellent view of the Fourth of July lights if you are interested. Small park, with great bathrooms and lots of grass, up on little knolls. There are several benches that look right out at the marina and are right at the marina's edge. This location is also very close to the jetty so you get to see all the boats that come in and out of sea. Most of the time you will see sea lions and it is a sunny location. There are also a few built in bbq stands for public use and concrete picnic benches and tables. Small toy area, and also a small fenced in city operated dog run (about 6 feet by 6 feet). Cute little park, right on the marina.
