Return to Potrero Canyon<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

6\/26\/25: \u00a0See entries for 6\/26\/25 and 1\/7\/25 on the\u00a0Landscaping<\/a> page, for information about\u00a0 closure and reopening of the Park due to the Palisades Fire in 2025,<\/p>\n

5\/30\/24:\u00a0 See the entries for 5\/30\/24 and 5\/21\/24 under Landscaping<\/a>, regarding the use of the heribicide “Cheetah Pro” at the Park.<\/p>\n

4\/27\/24:\u00a0 Last week, extensive, aggressive tagging occurred, defacing signs and hardscape elements throughout the Park. The scope of the graffiti was observed to be far wider than what had occurred in the past.\u00a0 LAPD is determining whether there are any monikers that may indicate gang activity, but acknowledge that people\/teens can easily access the park after hours by jumping over the fence. No feasible solutions have been proposed at this time.<\/p>\n

11\/28\/23:\u00a0 CD 11 advises that the sewer line has been repaired.\u00a0 Both Park restrooms are now open.<\/p>\n

11\/22\/23:\u00a0 The Friends St. gate has been reopened.\u00a0 One Park restroom is now open, but the second restroom remains closed.\u00a0 RAP staff advises that sewer repairs are ongoing.<\/p>\n

11\/19\/23:\u00a0 The Friends St. entrance gate is locked while the sewer is still being repaired.\u00a0 Other Park entrance gates remain operational.\u00a0 A sign posted on the Friends St. gate indicates that the work may be completed as early as next week.<\/p>\n

10\/23\/23:\u00a0 The root of the blockage that led to restroom closures has been discovered at the bottom of the canyon. BOE crews are prepared to remedy and are working to schedule the work. CD11 estimates that the work will take one month. Further updates will be provided.<\/p>\n

9\/14\/23:\u00a0 BOE is continuing investigation of the Park sewer line problem and will seek funding for required repairs.\u00a0 The restrooms will remain closed until the repairs are completed.<\/p>\n

8\/11\/23:\u00a0 \u00a0The Park has reopened but major sewer line repairs are ongoing.<\/p>\n

8\/4\/23:\u00a0 The Park has been closed until further notice in order for necessary major sewer line repairs.\u00a0 The restrooms are expected to reopen after the repairs are completed.<\/p>\n

7\/20\/23:\u00a0 The Park restrooms remain closed, with no time estimate as to when the sewer line will be repaired and the restrooms will reopen.<\/p>\n

7\/3\/23:\u00a0 BOE Park project manager Kristen Ly advises that there does not appear to be a “simple fix” to the sewer line problem.\u00a0 BOE is continuing to assess the conditions and is working to identify the source of the repair.\u00a0 It’s unlikely that the restrooms will be operational on July 4th. There is no time estimate for when the repair will be completed and the restrooms will be reopened.<\/p>\n

7\/1\/23:\u00a0 See entry for 7\/1\/23 under Landscaping<\/a>, regarding pooling water and request for treatment by Vector Control.<\/p>\n

7\/1\/23:\u00a0 The Park restrooms remain closed and inoperable.\u00a0 RAP has advised that BOE is working on the required sewer line repairs.\u00a0 No information has been provided as to when the repairs will be completed.\u00a0 We have stressed to both RAP and BOE the importance of having working restrooms, particularly in time for the 4th of July events, when many visitors to the community and the Park are expected. We will continue to monitor.<\/p>\n

6\/23\/23:\u00a0 The Park restrooms have been locked and inoperable since last weekend.\u00a0 RAP advises that they are working on a major issue involving sewage (estimated date for completion of work and reopening of bathrooms is not yet known).<\/p>\n

4\/11\/23:\u00a0 Unfortunately, tagging (graffiti) is repeatedly found on Park signs, bathroom walls\/doors and other structures.\u00a0 PCOC* members continue to alert RAP to these instances and are working to implement solutions to the problem.<\/p>\n

3\/29\/23:\u00a0\u00a0There is currently no publicly-posted Park address that accurately informs visitors or emergency responders of the main Park entrance at Frontera Dr. The RAP website lists the address of the Park as the Palisades Recreation Center address:\u00a0 851 Alma Real Dr., Pacific Palisades. \u00a0RAP advises that it is working on the issue. The PCOC* will monitor.<\/p>\n

3\/24\/23:\u00a0 LAFD Station 69 advises that firefighters are able to access the Park through the locked vehicle gate at the Frontera entrance; in case of a serious emergency in the canyon, call 911 and expressly ask for LAFD Station 69 to be alerted to come to Potrero Canyon Park at the Palisades Recreation Center.\u00a0 LAPD SLO Brian Espin and other officers also have the ability to access a lockbox on site with keys to open the gate.\u00a0 Contact information at:\u00a0 Government Contacts<\/a><\/p>\n

3\/20\/23:\u00a0 RAP was notified of graffiti (tagging) on Park signs and bathroom doors; RAP Maintenance is working to clean up all graffiti.<\/p>\n

3\/20\/23:\u00a0 RAP was notified of a dead deer found near the Rhino gate at the south end (mouth) of the canyon; RAP Maintenance removed the carcass.<\/p>\n

*Note:<\/strong> the prior PPCC Potrero Canyon Oversight Committee (PCOC) is no longer active as of July 2024; matters involving Potrero Canyon are regularly monitored by PPCC members.<\/em><\/p>\n
