City of Manhattan Beach Temporarily Closes the Dune at Sand Dune Park
The City of Manhattan Beach will be temporarily closing the Dune at Sand Dune Park beginning Friday, August 14, 2009. The City is closing the Dune at the park to address several issues regarding maintenance, as well as the impact the increased attendance at the Dune has had on the surrounding neighborhood and park. The rest of Sand Dune Park will remain open during this time.
The City of Manhattan Beach would also like to remind patrons of the Sand Dune Park that this is a residential area; please be mindful of the neighbors, respect the traffic laws and obey the park rules.
The Sand Dune item has been continued to the April 20, 2010 City Council meeting, where the Council will review passive use options for the dune. The dune will no longer be used as a workout/exercise facility.

This park acquired its name from the 100-foot high sand dune located there. It is a favorite destination for kids of all ages. Steps and switchbacks lead up into the nature area as a trail that provides different ways to reach the top. The trail winds through plant life and provides an interesting and educational nature walk. The top of the dune provides a panoramic east-facing view of the City.
This three-acre park also includes a fenced small children's play area with swings, merry-go-round and climbing equipment. The park has shaded picnic facilities for about 20, an open pavilion and two picnic tables. Restrooms and drinking fountains are also available.
Dogs are permitted on leash along the designated walking area east of the tot lot and along cement walkways as posted.
