Lomita City Update, November 13: First Workshop for New Sports and Community Center Set for November 14; Stephenson Center Closed November 17-19
LOMITA — The City of Lomita, in Los Angeles County, California, issued its community update on November 13. The city is planning a new Lomita Sports and Community Center on the U.S. Navy baseball fields site (26800 S. Western Ave.); the first dedicated community workshop will be held on Saturday, November 14, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Tom Rico Center at Lomita Park (24428 Eshelman Ave.), where the city will present the project vision and grant concept and collect resident feedback. Those who cannot attend may share ideas through an online survey.
Also on November 14, the Lomita Walking Club meets at 9 a.m. at Hathaway Park (25608 Pennsylvania Ave.), open to residents of all ages and activity levels. The city also advised that the Stephenson Center at Lomita Park will be temporarily closed from November 17 to 19; its restrooms will be unavailable and the Parks and Recreation offices will temporarily relocate to the Marc Fosnaugh Gymnasium.
The city is also gathering suggestions for a time capsule to be buried at the end of this year and opened in 2076, asking residents what should represent life in Lomita in 2026. The Los Angeles County Fire Department's SHIELD community safety survey is likewise open to Lomita residents.
Under the city's illegal dumping ordinance, leaving bulky items such as furniture, appliances or mattresses in alleys, parkways or vacant lots is prohibited and subject to fines; residents can schedule a free bulky-item pickup with Athens Services at (888) 336-6100. Ahead of a wet El Niño winter, the city encourages residents to sign up for Alert SouthBay alerts, and notes that sand and sandbags are available at the self-service station in the City Hall parking lot.
