In the early-morning hours of July 18, 2021, West Long Beach residents suffered a devastating loss when their local playground was severely damaged by fire. The original, nautical-themed playground opened in 2011 as part of a park-expansion project.
Admiral Kidd Park, located at 2125 Santa Fe Avenue in Long Beach, is in an already park-poor community. The park site was formerly used by the armed forces during World War II, according to the city's website. In commemoration, the park was named for Rear Admiral Isaac C. Kidd, who was killed during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, which influenced the nautical-themed design of the playground.
Our goal is to raise $1,000,000 to fund the rebuild of the playground.
