with the summer

reminded of
the fabulous

done on a
daily basis
by our Del

and the need
to support
them in maintaining
their clean
safety record.”

expecting
a record turn-out
at our beach
this summer
and a correlating
increase in
emergency
and first-aid
services,
underscoring
the need for
a new Beach
Safety Center
and Lifeguard
Headquarters.
We are very
appreciative
of the outpouring
of community
support which
has served
as a catalyst
for making
this facility

The
Friends of
the Powerhouse
was formed
more than
ten years
ago to work
with the City
of Del Mar
to renovate
and preserve
the Powerhouse
building on
Coast Boulevard.
After several
years of fundraising,
the building
was upgraded
and transformed
into the Powerhouse
Community
Center that
today is an
integral part
of the Del
Mar community.
Following
the renovation
of the Powerhouse,
the Friends
raised money
for and worked
with the City
of Del Mar
to rebuild
and upgrade
the Tot Lot,
located at
the southern
tip of Powerhouse
Park. The
Friends of
the Powerhouse
has also raised
money for
and funded
other beach-related
projects including
a lifeguard
rescue boat
and beach-ready
wheelchairs,
among others.
