On the Grid : Recreation Center

"What's a trip to Venice without a stop at the famed "Muscle Beach"? Stop and gawk (or giggle) at the outdoor weightlifting area, but plan to work your body at the rest of this amazing and free outdoor recreation facility. From pick up games of basketball, hand ball and paddle tennis to a gymnastic moment on the rings and bars, this sweet little spot has the best reasons to sweat, with a view to boot." - The Branding Farm

The most unprofessional and disrespectful personnel, and an unsafe place to rent a piece of their equipment. In the video, you'll see a family with a child riding one of their electric tri-cars. It's hard to see, but the left rear wheel was dangerously wobbly. Prior to the video, I had stopped them to warn them about the wheel and to show down. They had not noticed it. I followed them to the store in the picture. I told the man on the left of the picture about the wheel. He knew about it because his reply was that that's "how it came from the factory," that I shouldn't worry. At that moment, the man on the left came from behind, calling me names in Spanish, thinking that I didn't speak Spanish. When I asked him who he was calling names, he didn't expect it, I tried to tell him about the wheel, but he continued calling me names and naming my family. I must admit that I felt so offended by his lack of respect, that i did something that I had never done before, I took from my arsenal of the most dirty words that I could remember and find and I had never used on another human being and responded. He walked away into the shop, running his mouth with offensive words without even trying to look at the equipment. I know that most of the customers are Venice Beach visitors and will never see this review, but I hope that those who read it don't risk theirs and their family safety.

It's Venice Beach. It's filled with cheap shops selling everything at outrageous prices. Strange things to see under the sun. Bring the family or your date. It's Venice fun.

I is a nice and at the same time disturbing place. People singing, running, lifting, selling, all sorts. Foods, good veriety of t-shirts, caps, etc. At the same time quite few weird people - homeless, junkies and "take my music CD for free, but you should donate" kind. Not very impressed, but would say, should see one time.

Venice Beach is one of the most eclectic, energetic places in Los Angeles. The boardwalk is always buzzing with street performers, artists, and vendors selling unique items. There’s a distinct vibe of freedom and creativity, and it’s fun to just walk around and soak in the atmosphere. The beach itself is beautiful, with golden sands and great waves for surfers. If you’re into skateboarding, the Venice Skatepark is one of the best spots in LA to watch skilled skaters doing their thing. I love the variety of food options here, from classic beachside snacks to more health-conscious options at the nearby cafes. It’s an awesome place to relax, but there’s always something going on if you want to be part of the action. Definitely a must-see for anyone visiting LA

What's not to love! From the muscle pit, to the skate park, to the bike lanes, to roller skate area, to the basketball courts, The calisthenic area that includes punching bag stands all in the sun with an ocean view! Venice gives the community a lot! The bathrooms are bad, and I guess that's to be expected with the high level of tourist!
