Venice, CA – April 4, 2025 – A multi-agency task force conducted a cleanup operation on Friday at the historic Venice Beach pergola and surrounding beach areas, as part of ongoing efforts to address public safety and sanitation concerns in the popular coastal destination. The operation included personnel from the Los Angeles Police Department, Department of Public Works, County Beaches and Harbors, and environmental specialists from Clean Harbors Environmental Inc. The pergola and adjacent beach areas, which have seen frequent use as informal shelters, were the primary focus of the operation. Officials emphasized that the effort reflects the city’s broader commitment to improving public facilities and addressing the living conditions of its homeless population. Enforcement actions were carried out under Los Angeles Municipal Code 63.44(b), which prohibits camping in city parks and on beaches. The operation proceeded without major incident, with Park Rangers overseeing security and ensuring compliance with city regulations. The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) was on-site to provide outreach, distributing food, water, and hygiene kits to individuals affected by the cleanup. A representative from Councilwoman Traci Park’s office was also present, underscoring the city’s continued approach of balancing enforcement with supportive services. City officials reiterated that such operations are part of ongoing efforts to maintain public health and accessibility at Venice Beach, while continuing to connect unhoused individuals with essential services and long-term support.
