The LA Waterfront consists of a series of waterfront development and community enhancement projects blanketing more than 400 acres of existing Port of Los Angeles property in the harbor communities of San Pedro and Wilmington. This area has changed dramatically over the past decade, and there is still much more to come. The Port of Los Angeles remains committed to supporting projects that provide additional open space and encourage public access. Below is a snapshot of approved projects underway.
