The City of Malibu’s Legacy Park will be honored this fall as the Outstanding Sustainability Project for 2011. The award is being given by the American Society of Civil Engineers Metropolitan Los Angeles Branch. The $35 million, 15-acre park opened late last year. It is located along Pacific Coast Highway between Webb Way and Cross Creek Road on the land formerly known as the Chili Cook-Off site. It functions as a storm water treatment facility in connection with the plant at the corner of Civic Center Way and Cross Creek Road and as a tranquil passive park for locals and tourists.
