Want to enjoy the beach weather without going to the beach? With a small playground and 6.3 acres of grass and park benches a short distance from the Redondo Beach Pier, Veterans Park is a great place to barbeque or picnic or just go for a stroll.

There are great ocean views, and come on a Thursday to visit the weekly farmers market. Open 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Four-hour metered parking available.
