appropriated by private individuals, by transportation and industrial inter- 

 ests or have been neglected entirely. Moreover, the common practice which 

 still prevails throughout the country of draining sewage and other wastes 

 into water adjacent to cities and towns has quite generally made the use 

 of the waters undesirable for recreational purposes. The solution of the 

 sanitary problems involved in water development projects is quite likely 

 to prove of basic importance as preliminary to developmental design. 



No attempt will be made here to discuss the principles of the design 

 of waterfront areas, for each area presents distinct and separate problems. 

 The representation through pictures and plans of various designs already 

 put into effect or in process of execution, will carry its own story in a sug- 

 gestive way to communities contemplating such development projects.

PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT OF CABRILLO BEACH, POINT FIRMIN PARK, LOS ANGELES, 



CALIFORNIA 



Total area proposed beach, 25 acres. 



With the government breakwater as an axis, two new beach sites will be made by the use of hydraulic dredges. 

 One is of approximately twelve acres on the inner harbor side and the other about thirteen acres on the ocean side. 

 More than a million cubic yards of material dredged from the inner harbor will be used in making the two fills. 



Plans of the Los Angeles Playground and Recreation Department for this development also include a bath- 

 house, an anchorage for yachts, boathouse, a beach picnic ground and a comprehensive program of water sports. 

 The development also provides for roadways, automobile parking spaces and a park overlooking the beach.
