This graceful three tiered fountain began to flow in 1971 and has delighted residents every since. The fountain is in a park-like setting and creates the atmosphere of Naples
Italy with the sound of falling water and the illumination of the lights at night. This site was donated to the City in 1933 by the Belmont Shore Development Company and was known as "Circle Park Naples". It was renamed "Bella Flora Park" by the Park Commission in 1934. The old Naples Hotel once stood to the west of this site. The original park improvements consisted of a lawn area with large Phoenix Palms. It also included a vent for an abandoned underground septic tank. The vent was removed in 1971 and replaced with a Neapolitan-type fountain that rises in three-tiers from an octangular base. The fountain was dedicated on February 20, 1971 and renamed "La Bella Fontana di Napoli". The fountain was renovated in 2008 with new tile, lighting, and the help of Naples Garden Club.

The Leeway Sailing and Aquatics Center has had "the wind at it's back" throughout its long history. Founded in 1929 to teach local youth the basics of sailing

safe aquatic experience
sailing instruction
board sailing
kayaking
wind surfing
canoeing

A Long Beach sailing program on the beach of Alamitos Bay began in 1929. It became affiliated with the Alamitos Bay Yacht Club ABYC not long after it founding
and many Leeway Sailing Center Leeway members were also junior members of the ABYC. Since 1964
Leeway has continued to operate out of the old firehouse building. In 2008
the City began considerations of replacing the old firehouse with a more modern building. Leeway is associated with the popularity of the Sabot class of boats
which was originated by a father of a young sailor learning to sail there. Gondola Getaway is also operated out of the Leeway docks.

Leeway Sailing and Aquatics Center offers beginning and intermediate sabot classes for children age 8 and above and up to adult. The instructional fleet includes 8' sabots
14 foot Capri boats and our 28 foot keelboat. Board sailing is offered to ages 16 and older. Two-hour semi-private and private lessons are available. Call 562 570-1719 for more Facilities:

Long Beach Municipal Cemetery

562 570-6700
Facilities:
4.3 acres

The Long Beach Municipal Cemetery is located at the corner of Willow Street and Orange Avenue. This 4.3-acre site is the resting place of some of the "who's who" of Long Beach
including the founder of the City William Erwin Willmore
laid to rest in 1901. The facility is maintained by the City Engineer and operated by the Department of Parks
Recreation and Marine. For more Facilities:
acres

call 570-6634
562 556-6700 or email the cemetery docent at lbcemetery@yahoo.com.

The Municipal Cemetery is located at the northwest corner of Willow Street and Orange Avenue. It was established as early as 1901 when William Willmore
the original developer of what became Long Beach was interred there. According to records
on July 10th
1900 the City of Long Beach assumed the operation and maintenance of the three and two-thirds acres cemetery from the Long Beach Cemetery Association. The Cemetery was previously known as the Signal Hill Cemetery
and it is thought to have been established as a burial ground for Bixby Ranch employees. A Bixby mausoleum is located on the property
although no member of the Bixby family is interred there. At some point
the land became part of the Rancho Los Cerritos
and was subsequently purchased by William Erwin Willmore
the entrepreneur credited with founding Willmore City
predecessor to the City of Long Beach. The management
upkeep and control of the Cemetery is the responsibility of the Parks
Recreation and Marine Department. This includes manual watering of the grounds
tree maintenance
plant care
weeding
edging and mowing of the turf
raking of leaves
"righting" of headstones straightening them upright or raising them to grade and debris removal. Along with the maintenance of the grounds
staff open and close graves. This job must be performed very carefully to not disturb surrounding soil and to comply with state laws and standards of practice for cemeteries. The main obstacle with is that the accuracy of the records is in conflict with who actually lies in the ground. The cemetery is used frequently for filmings
including Mariah Carey's cemetery scene in the movie "Glitter." Although Arnold's Terminator 3 cemetery scene was shot at El Dorado Park
the filming company had the Municipal Cemetery as their first option until the magnitude of the special effects were considered. The cemetery has more than a century of history to share with all who are interested
but you may not want to plan your visit on Halloween night. Not only will you find it's quietness eerily disturbing
but you will also find it locked and closely guarded for the occasion.

History
This park is located at the end of Naples Plaza Drive and is often known as Naples Plaza Park. In January 1965
the City Council approved a contract for construction of the park. Planting was completed in April of the same year.

This bay front park consists of an elongated strip of land running from the beginning at the west end of Corso di Napoli and terminating at the east end of Corso di Oro. It extends about 15 feet in width from the seawall to the private property line
but variability in width does occur with the less than perfect match of the shape of the seawall and the shape of the property lines. The park roughly centers on Naples Plaza
where a teardrop shaped turn around exists to prevent a dead end
and to provide street frontage to the properties on either side of Naples Plaza. About 1990
the turn around was closed
connecting the island in the center of the turn around to the strip along the bay front. Improvements include park benches
turf and palm trees.
