Sinkhole at Rec Center | The Village
A large sink hole was reported at Palisades Recreation Center on Monday, February 11, around 5:30 p.m., according to Park Director Erich Haas. The Office of Public Safety responded to the incident and was assessing the damage as of Tuesday morning. The sinkhole was also reported to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
“It doesn’t appear to be from the rain,” said Haas, who noticed the dirt surrounding the fallen concrete was not muddy or wet. “What concerns me is it looks like it’s about three feet from one of the tennis courts.”
Haas does not believe the surrounding area to be at risk of falling but will know more after the completion of the assessment.
