PELICAN FUN FACT: The brown pelican nearly became extinct between the 1950s to early 1970s due to the impact of the pesticide DDT. The birds’ eggs were thin-shelled and broke before they hatched. After DDT was banned in the US in 1972, the population bounced back and the bird was removed from the endangered species list in 1985. 1 THE PIER IS BUILT! The Santa Monica Pier was built 100 years ago. Now it’s a world-famous amusement park. Over four million people from all around the world visit the Santa Monica Pier each year. When it was originally built, it was not nearly the tourist attraction it is today. As a matter of fact, at first it did not have any rides or games or restaurants at all. So how did it all get started? It started with sewage! The Santa Monica Pier was first built to carry the city’s sewage out to sea through a pipe under the Pier. At the time this was a big improvement over the existing system that polluted the beach and surf. The natural beauty of the marine wilderness Iand spectacular sunsets drew people from inland areas to Santa Monica. The Pier quickly became a popular destination for fishermen, vacationers and thrill seekers. 2 Where in the World IS the Santa Monica Pier? Draw a line from the question to the correct answer and locate on the globe. 1 On what continent is the Pier located? Pacific Ocean 2 In what country is the Pier located? Santa Monica 3 In what state is the Pier located? North America 4 In what city is the Pier located? California I 5 In what body of water does the Pier stand? United States PELICAN FUN FACT: The Pier is 1,600 feet long. That is about ¼ of a mile or two city blocks long. Answers are on page 20. 3 THE CAROUSEL IN THE HIPPODROME A second pier built next to the first one made space for fun rides. Painted horses carry riders on the Pier’s carousel while organ music plays. The carousel is inside the Hippodrome. A “hippodrome” was a stadium for horse races in ancient Greece. The Hippodrome is the oldest building on the Pier, built by Charles Looff and opened in 1917. Today’s carousel is the third one to be in this building. The hand-carved wooden animals were stripped and repainted in the 1980s. People used to live in apartments above the carousel on the second floor. Today, the City of Santa Monica and the Pier Restoration Corporation have offices there. 4 Create and color your own carousel horse. PELICAN FUN FACT: The carousel now on the Pier was built in 1922. It has 44 horses. 5 ACTIVITIES AT THE PIER: SPORTS, FUN AND FITNESS AT THE PIER • Bike riding The Pier and nearby beach offer a variety of fun and active • Volleyball or basketball sports for everyone, no matter your age or ability. Outdoor exercise has long been a part of the Pier and the Santa • Rollerblading Monica Beach scene. Not far from the Pier is the original Muscle • Surfing or boogie Beach. Beginning in the 1930s it was a popular place to exercise and do gymnastics outdoors. Soon it became a world-famous boarding place for bodybuilders to show off for crowds of people who came to watch their performances. In 2000, Muscle Beach was • Swimming restored with new gymnastic and balance equipment. • Jogging or walking • Swinging • Flying on the trapeze • Climbing the jungle gym • Gynmastics on bars and rings 6 Marathon dances started with many couples competing for prizes. As dancers grew tired, they dropped out of the contest until only a few were left. Dancing on the Pier started in 1924 when the La Monica Ballroom was built. It was so big, 5,000 people could dance there at one time. In those early years people without a job could win money by competing in dance marathons. Whoever danced the longest would win money. The ballroom was closed in 1962. Now every summer the Twilight Dance Series is held outdoors on the Pier parking deck. Live bands play and people can dance, sing, or just listen to the music. 1 234 Learn to Salsa Dance! The number represents the beat of the music. The blue foot print represents the 8 765 foot where your weight should be on the corresponding beat of the music. “Break” means stepping forward quickly and rocking back. Remember to dance light on your toes! 7 THE PIER AND THE AQUARIUM The Santa Monica Pier Aquarium is beneath the Carousel at beach level. It is owned and run by an environmental group called Heal the Bay. The first aquarium at the Pier was located in the La Monica Ballroom. One large and two small tanks displayed fish and sea life from the nearby waters. It was run by the Santa Monica Lifeguard Service. The Aquarium is home to more than 100 species of plants and animals found in the Santa Monica Bay including eels, sharks, rays, fish and invertebrates. Touch tanks are filled with tidepool animals. Visitors can get a spiny hug from a sea urchin, touch a knobby sea star or sticky sea anemone, and feel the seawater spray of a swell shark. Help the California Moray eel find its dinner. 8 The Aquarium is a great place to learn about marine biology, pollution prevention, oceanography, and beach ecology. Marine-themed puzzles, games, books and a puppet theater add to the fun. By offering a hands-on experience, the Aquarium is a place to learn about the plants and animals that live in the Santa Monica Bay. It also shows us how important it is to preserve unique marine environments in all Southern California waters. PELICAN FUN FACT: Did you know that you can adopt an animal at the Pier Aquarium for a year? Your donation will provide food and care: you’ll also receive a photo, fact sheet and two free family passes to visit your foster animal. For more information visit healthebay.org . 9 AMUSEMENTS ON THE DECK Ride the rides, play the games, go fishing and enjoy the street performers. The Pier has many great rides and games. Try the roller coaster, electric bumper cars and sea planes at Pacific Park, the West Coast’s only amusement park over the waves. Check out the arcade for a game of skee-ball or air hockey. Walk to the end of the Pier and try your hand at fishing. You can also stop and enjoy the many talented street performers who juggle, sketch, paint and sing for your entertainment. Don’t forget to ride the amazing Ferris wheel called the Pacific Wheel. It’s the world’s first Ferris wheel to run on solar (sun) power. It is the perfect place to get a bird’s eye view of the Pier and bay. PELICAN FUN FACT: The Pacific Wheel is more than 130 feet high (as tall as a 9-story building). It can carry 800 passengers in an hour. 10 WORD FIND ~ THINGS YOU WILL SEE AT THE SANTA MONICA PIER!

Since the turn of the 20th Century, this street has attracted numerous prominent southern Californians. This street is named after Robert Gillis’ daughter, Adelaide. Robert Gillis was the owner of the Santa Monica Land and Water Co. and bought thousands of acres in the Palisades in the 1880s. In 1923, Gillis sold 22,000 acres to Alphonso Bell, who developed Bel Air, and went on to develop the Pacific Palisades. 6. Worrell “Zuni House,” 1923-24 710 Adelaide Pl. Architect Robert Stacey-Judd is best known for his Mayan-themed architecture, as is evident in the Pueblo Revival style home, the only known example of his work in Santa Monica. The design of the house embodies many of the character-defining features of the Pueblo Revival style, including an asymmetrical facade, block composition, and flat roofs with parapets highlighted by red tile coping. Noteworthy are projecting roof beams (a.k.a. vigas) typical of the Zuni tribe of Arizona Indians. The rounded corners of the terraced walls, simulate adobe. A stepped Mayan motif is repeated in the door and window frames. It’s said that the work of this architect "is always a surprise.” 7.

Santa Monica, CA 90401 (310) 458-2213 Email: [email protected] Website: www.smepd.org 1. garden\garden Project Description Background In 2003 the City of Santa Monica examined its outreach efforts toward the encourage- ment of landscaping which features climate-appropriate, water-efficient plant materi- als. It was found that, although the City had a very popular demonstration garden prominently located at City Hall, very few City property owners were actually installing such landscapes on there own property. After some research it was concluded that were two main obstacles: !" The inability of residential property owners to see the demonstration garden at a large, public building as representing something that could be done on their prop- erty. !" The inertia within the landscaping community to continue recommending and planting the plants that they were already familiar with rather than the native plants which had become, for practical purposes, “exotic” in their natural territory. The Idea To overcome these obstacles the City conceived the idea of a comparison garden composed of two adjacent, residential front yards typical of the City’s primarily resi- dential character. One front yard would feature California-native plants, a water-efficient drip irrigation system, a weather-sensitive irrigation controller, permeable paving, mulch and a sys- tem for capturing storm water runoff for groundwater recharge.
