Del Rey Lagoon Park is a 14-acre (57,000 m2) municipal park in the Playa Del Rey neighborhood of Los Angeles, United States, with a lagoon that is part of the greater Ballona Creek watershed.

[3] The lagoon is a place where “wild ducks swim beside the domestic varieties that are cast-off Easter presents for city-dwellers’ children.”[4] Among the wild waterfowl is a “large population of bufflehead ducks, great blue herons and coots.”[5] Del Rey and Ballona Lagoons were originally part of the same Ballona Creek estuary channel system.

[10] In the early 1960's several undeveloped blocks south of the lagoon were acquired and the park was expanded with additional fields now home to a Little League Baseball facility and playground.

[4] Sailing classes were offered at the lagoon by the city parks department as recently as 1991.

[3] In 1973, the city offered “children’s boating classes every Saturday morning at the lagoon, giving information on handling canoes and sabots.
