This morning, older adults across Manhattan Beach had access to health screenings, consultations, wellness resources, giveaways, and more — all in one place.
 
A reminder that community health events like this can make a real difference. 💙

Step inside a contemporary tea room at the Manhattan Beach Art Center.

As part of Ritual, MBAC’s Education Space has been transformed into an immersive tea room inspired by Japanese tea ceremonies. Presented in collaboration with Zakka Bakka Shop and TEA TEA TEA, the installation brings together tea, handcrafted ceramics, and traditional objects in a space designed for reflection, gathering, and discovery.

Think of it as part exhibition, part tea room, part pop-up experience.

Visit the Manhattan Beach Art Center during gallery hours to experience the tea room for yourself.

85 years of parks, programs, and people 🌿

From the early days of acquiring land that would become Veterans Parkway, to the parks, classes, and community spaces we enjoy today, Manhattan Beach Parks & Recreation has always been about bringing people together.

These 17 moments are just a glimpse of what’s been built over the years:
✨ Places to play
✨ Programs that connect
✨ Spaces where memories are made

And the best part? We’re still building it, together.

Here’s to 85 years of community, and everything still to come 💚

If Parks & Rec has been part of your life over the years, share this post and celebrate with us.
