Bringing Back Our Great Park for Future Generations

Resources

The Great Park Coalition celebrates the ongoing efforts by the City and local advocates to reclaim the Santa Monica Airport land as a vibrant park for the community. Rather than duplicating here the wealth of information already available elsewhere online, we’ve curated a list of resources to help you explore the history, advocacy, and progress behind this vision.

The first six websites cover the origins of the park, the history of the airport, key negotiations and agreements, and the inspiring advocacy for the park’s restoration. Additional resources below highlight similar projects and goals, offering insight into our shared mission to close the airport and bring back Santa Monica’s Great Park.
