Description
Lummus Park is a beach-side park stretching along the Eastern side of Ocean Dr. from 5th – 15th streets.
Under FERA projects 13-129: 13-B3-146, federal workers built 8 new shuffleboard courts and a new concrete-floored pavilion. The park was renovated in the 1980s. The shuffleboard courts are no longer there. It is unknown to the Living New Deal whether the pavilion is still extant or not.
