Interactive Exhibits At Lower Point Vicente Park In Rancho Palos Verdes Finally Get Underway

RANCHO PALOS VERDES, CA -- After receiving unanimous support from the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council, the project to add interactive exhibits to Lower Point Vicente Park can now move forward, according to the Daily Breeze.

This comes after nearly two years of negotiations with volunteers, city leaders and local residents to come up with a plan that is agreeable to everyone to install four educational installations at the Point Vicente Interpretive Center.

“It’s really quite a phenomenal feeling,” Fran Simon, president of the Los Serenos de Point Vicente, a volunteer group that oversees the park, told the Daily Breeze.

The four exhibits will include one on the Tongva American Indian Tribe that inhabited the Palos Verdes Peninsula, one on the geology of the area, one that offers students an opportunity to dig for fossils and one on Annie’s Stand, a farm stand that was operated by Japanese-American residents in the area.

“Annie’s stand is an icon for the area, and everything that we’re putting together in that plot of land is something that happened on the Peninsula, or even right in Rancho Palos Verdes,” Simon told the Daily Breeze.
