Venice Beach already stakes claim to a famed workout area known as Muscle Beach, art walls for graffiti artists to display their crafty designs and an internationally acclaimed Boardwalk.

A beachfront skate park is now planned to join the group of distinctive attractions that are part of the Venice landscape.

Venice Beach has been a hot spot for skateboarders and skaters to test their tricks since the days of the Venice Pavilion and they have continued to skate along a concrete section of the beach even after the Pavilion was torn down.

But now a new 16,000-square-foot skate park facility is in the works to give the skateboarders and in-line skaters a place to call home on the beach.
