The famous “Muscle Beach” known for gigantic bodybuilders training for Mr. Olympia may be a thing of the past, but the spirit of fitness on display is alive and well in Venice. Muscle Beach is an enclosed weight-lifting area which requires a paid pass for use. There is an adjacent sandpit with rings, ropes, parallel bars and a hookup for weight bags which is free to use. You must bring your own weight bags for that area.
Hours and costs for the weight-lifting area are:
- Sundays: 10-4
- Nov-Jan 8-5
- Feb-Mar 8-6
- April-Sept 8-7
- Oct -8-6
1 Day Pass: $10

T-Shirts are available in the Recreation office at 1800 Ocean Front Walk for $20
