Dear Friend —

Earlier today, I joined city leaders to commemorate the official opening of our new Lincoln Park. Located in the heart of downtown Long Beach, Lincoln Park is the next piece of our Civic Center to be completed. It joins City Hall, the Port of Long Beach headquarters, and our state-of-the-art Billie Jean King Main Library to create a space that all residents and visitors can enjoy.

The redesign of Lincoln Park is impressive. With a variety of new amenities for kids and adults, the space is colorful, active and has something for everyone. We are excited to showcase the new discovery zones and a playground for children; fitness equipment, a turf sports field, basketball court, skate park, dog park, grassy areas — and a 13-foot tall Lincoln penny that stands at the corner of Ocean Boulevard and Pacific.

Open space like what’s available at Lincoln Park is a demonstration of our clear commitment to making safe, high-quality park space available to every neighborhood citywide. We look forward to seeing you at the reimagined Lincoln Park!

Thank you and Go Long Beach,

Mayor Robert Garcia
