Thanks, guys. Yes, there are several gyms like this in Venice and Santa Monica where I live. Bars, rings, rope climb, not to mention "Muscle Beach" where our fearless governer (Arnold) packed on the pecs. They even have huge swingsets for adults.
I'm really interested in seeing what I can do to bring back some of the popularity. There were some high school ROTC guys down there doing some PT, and they all wanted to know how to hit, so I spent about an hour letting each one take a whack.
Dutchman, where do you live, and when are you gonna make it back up this way?
I really want to see if I can get someone with the Parks Dept. to do a little maintainance. I'd even buy the swivels. If anyone has any good ideas on taking something like this to the authorities, let me know. Thanks for the feedback...Leave a comment:

It's been about three and a half years since I've been up to Venice Beach. The platforms, and assorted bars and rings are located on the ocean side of the weight pen at Muscle Beach. It was a really neat idea that the Venice town council came up with to do this, even more so to convince the LA county parks dept to put them in. However as Billy Mack has found out their maintenance is not high on the Parks Depts list. The platforms themselves are rock solid, big enough to handle old school large bags, and configured that you can work around them. The issue of the swivels is the only downside. That, and somtimes having a very large audience to witness your mistakes.

Beach Baggin'
A buddy who used to live out here in Cali told me about this old school speed bag setup at Venice Beach. I headed down there this evening to check it out. What a sweet setup, with 6 stations, all set to different heights. Most of the swivels are rusted out or missing, and you have to bring your own bag. I managed to use the laces of my Title 8x5 to secure it to a broken swivel, check the pics.
My girl went with me and took a bunch of video, so I put a clip together. By the end of my session I had a bunch of people gathered round so I did a little workshop, it was a ton of fun.
