THE CORNER BALL PARK PROJECT |
The transformation of a prominent, dangerously enclosed, street corner
in Venice, California into a neighborhood ball park. Like the original Venice Ballpark, ours has mounds and hard balls. But in this new earthworks Corner Ball Park, we have native landscaping and marble mosaic sculptural seating with Venice imagery. Location: South Venice Boulevard @ Ocean & Mildred. Simulation: |

Below
are 3 of the Big Balls: sculptural seating for this urban
environment: sitable & climbable, but not conducive to sleeping
nor hiding. The Venetian imagery on these Balls is: sea kelp, a portrait
from the iconic Venice Beach columns and Silver Triangle neighborhood
triangles. |

Funding & Permits:
Los Angeles Beautification Grant & matching donations.

The Venice Tigers, a Pacific Coast League pro team, played at Venice Ballpark from 1913-14. It was located a block East of our site, at the SW corner of Venice and Abbot Kinney Boulevards. The team came from, and returned to, the City of Vernon, after two seasons. |
