The Venice Beach Recreation Center is located in Venice Beach near all the popular shops and attractions. It's large and spacious and encompasses tennis courts, basketball courts, racquetball courts, volleyball courts and gymnastic equipment: all just off the beach. The recreation center sits right next to the Muscle Beach gym and is just a hop, skip and a jump from the ocean. It is open during daylight hours, 7 days a week, and visitors can find out more information at www.laparks.org or from pamphlets found on-site.
