About the Venice Pier: (Following info from Coastal Conservancy. The 1,300-foot Venice Pier, built in 1963, was falling to pieces by the 1980s. It was closed and scheduled for demolition in 1986. Venice residents rallied to the cause, and after years of perseverance the pier was restored and reopened in 1997. The restored pier is fully accessible, with lights, benches, fish-cleaning stations, a 120-foot diameter circular end, and special cutouts for fishing and wheelchairs. The pier’s surface is cement and the rail height is 41 inches although several handicapped sections have a 28″ railing. It is managed by the City of Los Angeles, Parks and Recreation Department. Hours: Open from 6 a.m. to midnight.
