SMPRC has produced the Santa Monica Pier Paddle Board Race and the Twilight Summer Concert Series. SMPRC conducted the daily operations of the Santa Monica Pier, such as managing events, filming, promotions, tenants, and street performers. The City of Santa Monica created a non-profit in response to the damage and called it Santa Monica Pier Restoration Corporation (SMPRC). On June 18, 2009, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment issued a safe eating advisory for any fish caught from Santa Monica Pier to Ventura Harbor due to elevated levels of mercury and PCBs. Over one-third of the Pier was destroyed. A crane which was being used to repair the west end was dragged into the water and acted as a battering ram against the pilings. The City of Santa Monica began repairs on March 1, 1983, when another storm rolled in. When the storm was over, the lower deck of the pier was destroyed. On January 27, there were reported swells of 10-feet during this winter storm. During storms in early 1983, the pier experienced a significant loss. Storms swept away the protective breakwater in 1982. Within that same year, the Carousel and Hippodrome were locations for the film The Sting. The order to raze the pier was revoked by the city council in 1973. It was approved by the City Council, but citizens formed "Save Santa Monica Bay" to preserve the pier. The most extensive included the construction of an artificial island with a 1500-room hotel. During the 1960s and 1970s various plans were proposed that would entail removal of the pier. The Newcomb Pier was privately owned until it was acquired by the city in 1974. The bridge and entry gate to Santa Monica Pier were built in 1938 by the federal Works Project Administration, and replaced the former grade connection. A breakwater was built in 1934 that provided docking for up to 100 fishing and pleasure boats near the pier. During the 1930s, most of the amusement park facilities were closed down and its attractions sold off. The Pleasure Pier thrived during the 1920s but faded during the Great Depression. The La Monica Ballroom was demolished in 1963. From 1958 until 1962, the ballroom served as a roller skating rink first as Skater's Ballroom, and later as the Santa Monica Roller Rink, where the speed skating club won many state and regional championships. In the summer of 1955, the Hollywood Autocade opened at the La Monica with one-hundred famous and unusual cars, including Jack Benny's Maxwell and a Rumpler Drop Car.
Country music star Spade Cooley began broadcasting his weekly television show from the ballroom in 1948, where the program remained until 1954. Eslick with a Spanish façade and French Renaissance interior, it was the largest dance hall on the west coast, accommodating 5,000 dancers on its 15,000-square-foot (1,400 m 2) hard maple floor. The La Monica Ballroom opened on July 23, 1924. A calliope provides musical accompaniment. It was rebuilt in 1990 inside the Hippodrome.
The Philadelphia Toboggan Company built the Carousel, PTC #62, in 1922. Attractions on the Pleasure Pier eventually included the Santa Monica Looff Hippodrome building (which now houses the current carousel and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places), the Blue Streak Racer wooden roller coaster (which was purchased from the defunct Wonderland amusement park in San Diego), the Whip, merry-go-rounds, Wurlitzer organs, and a funhouse. Looff and his son Arthur, amusement park pioneers. The short, wide adjoining Pleasure Pier to the south, also known as Newcomb Pier, was built in 1916 by Charles I. The long, narrow Municipal Pier opened September 9, 1909, primarily to carry sewer pipes beyond the breakers, and had no amenities. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.Santa Monica has had several piers however, the current Santa Monica Pier is made up of two adjoining piers that long had separate owners. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file.
