Transfer of Navy Land for Parks and Law Enforcement Use in Los Angeles.

This bill authorizes the U.S. Navy to transfer or lease specific military land parcels in San Pedro to the cities of Los Angeles and Lomita. This action directly benefits citizens by converting former military sites into public recreational areas, as most land must be used exclusively for parks and sports fields. A smaller portion will be dedicated to local law enforcement purposes, potentially improving their training facilities.
Key points
Military land (ballfields and a firing range, totaling about 24 acres) will be conveyed to the cities of Los Angeles and Lomita, potentially at a cost below fair market value.
The transferred ballfields must be used solely for park and recreational activities, increasing local access to public green space.
The cities can pay for the land with cash or by providing services or infrastructure improvements to the nearby Naval base (in-kind consideration), helping to manage transaction costs.
