Homeless encampment at Dockweiler State Beach near LAX cleared by city workers
LA TimesLos Angeles County Beaches and Harbors workers clean up a homeless encampment on Dockweiler State Beach in Playa del Rey on Thursday. A homeless encampment that neighbors said had been growing at Dockweiler State Beach in Playa del Rey was taken down on Thursday, city officials said. Dockweiler State Beach sits under the LAX flight path and is in an unusual jurisdictional position — it is part of California’s state park system, its custodial maintenance and lifeguard services are managed by Los Angeles County, and, through an agreement with the county, policing and code enforcement are handled by the city of Los Angeles, according to a county spokesperson. Law enforcement ask Tyler Eyre, 30, to pack up his belongings during a beach cleanup of a homeless encampment on Dockweiler State Beach in Playa del Rey on Thursday.
