The next phase in the renovating and reimagining of the San Pedro waterfront is coming into focus…
And a massive Ferris wheel is in the works!
When completed, the Ferris wheel will be 150 feet tall, 50% taller than the Pacific Wheel on the Santa Monica Pier...so picture that!
It’ll be called the West Harbor Wheel and will take riders in enclosed gondolas high into the air, giving them a view of the Port of L.A., the Vincent Thomas Bridge and the USS Iowa battleship.
In addition to the Ferris wheel, there will be other carnival rides including...
- a carousel
- a wave swinger (similar to the Silly Symphony Swings at Disney’s California Adventure)
And all you pickleball fans.... Pickleball and padel ball courts will also be installed in a 50,000-square-foot sports complex.
Apparently, there’s gonna be more than one mile of waterfront access, a 20,000-square-foot beer garden and tons of office and outdoor space, shopping, entertainment and restaurant options.
The first phase of West Harbor is tentatively scheduled to open by late 2025!
