Welcome To Playa Vista

With more than 70 percent of its original land area designated as parks and open space, Playa Vista has not only drawn international attention, but has also been praised as an urban model for Los Angeles.  Playa Vista, located on the former site of Howard Hughes’ aircraft plant, runways and hangars, is an emerging mixed-use community where the live, work, shop and play philosophy is being integrated into people’s lives. Playa Vista offers the best of both worlds: Conveniences of city life mixed with the relaxed feel of a suburban setting. 

Playa Vista property is located just East of Playa del Rey, South of Marina del Rey, Southwest of  Culver City, and North of Westchester. It even has it’s own zip code ; Playa Vista, Ca. 90094 

PLAYA VISTA SPORTS PARK

 

 

The brand new seven-acre park features a Little League baseball field, soccer field, two half basketball courts, two tennis courts, and a universally-accessible playground.

Designed by the internationally-recognized landscape architectural firm EDAW, the Sports Park also includes picnic areas and the first segment of a two-mile-long trail that parallels the Riparian Corridor, with exercise stations and a variety of viewpoints.

The Playa Vista Sports Park is truly state-of-the-art. For example, the synthetic turf at the John H. Henschel Soccer Field is made from polyethylene to prevent burn wounds caused by sliding. The Little League baseball field features "Tifsport" Bermuda grass turf specially selected for its ability to withstand heavy use. Of the two half basketball courts, one features an adjustable backboard that can be lowered for young children.

Each component of the park has been carefully laid out with the local community and environment in mind:

• The soccer field requires no irrigation, fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides or mowing-so it produces no green waste.


• Due to the sophisticated subsurface drainage systems, rain water quickly drains away, allowing athletes to play ball year round.


• The trail is constructed of decomposed granite, a material that helps reduce the amount of storm water runoff and lessens the impact on joints for joggers and walkers.


• 50 percent of the plant material at the park is either native, drought-tolerant or low water to reduce irrigation.


• The lights illuminating the pathways feature highly efficient sharp cutoff optics to prevent light pollution into surrounding areas.
