Signal Hill Series

Continuing our series on the Signal Hill Civic Center Master Plan! With the approval of the CCMP, the City is moving forward with implementing phase one, the amphitheater. Nestled in the existing park slope, the future amphitheater is an acoustically-tuned and dedicated outdoor performance shell that can accommodate a full range of performing arts. Landscape tiers provide seating for 400 people on blankets and lawn chairs and an additional 600 on folding chairs. A flat apron between the tiers and the stage allows for more accessible seating and an informal dance “pit.” The City received a $5 million dollar grant by the California Arts Council to plan, design, and construct the amphitheater with anticipated completion in 2026.
