Santa Monica Slackline Park
In addition to being a sport of its own, slacklining is also popular as a training tool for a variety of athletes. As it can help improve core strength, balance, and reaction time, slacklining is common with climbers, cyclists and other athletes. However, balancing on the slackline is also a fun and mentally stimulating activity for all ages.
The park at muscle beach utilizes a myriad of poles secured into the ground as anchor points for the slacklines. This allows for many different configurations and line lengths.

BIG MOVE
A crane is slowly making its way on the Santa Monica Pier on Thursday, April 25, 2013. The crane will be used for a year long-$8.2 million Pier Replacement Project which consists of a complete demolition and reconstruction of a 360-foot long by 36-foot wide section of the Municipal Pier from the high tide line to the westerly concrete pier constructed in the late 1980s. The existing Municipal Pier in this area was constructed of timber in the 1920s. A Pier infrastructure assessment study concluded that this section is in need of complete replacement. The pier will remain open for the entire time of construction.
