If you have ever visited Southern California or are planning a special trip for the summer games of 2028... you'll want to build, play, and marvel at a replica of one of Los Angeles' famed lifeguard towers.
Built to scale with many amazing features including:
- Removable roof granting access to lifeguard essentials
- Moveable windows and doors to shade from sun and protect from elements
- Palm trees providing shade for a nice read
- Pesky seagulls hunting for food
- Beachgoer accessories including inner tube and ice cold drinks
- Lifeguard accessories including first aid kit and emergency flotation devices
- Minifigures – 2 tourists, 2 lifeguards
Some fun facts about the real lifeguard towers:
- 158 lifeguard towers line the Los Angeles County coastline
- The American flag is flown to indicate the tower is occupied
- A red flotation device (known as a can) attached to the building indicates the lifeguard is inside - not on the sand or in the water
- A bucket is always placed at the base of the ramp to wash sand and salt off the feet of the lifeguards
- The structures are moveable by tractor
Since the 1950’s this small simple structure has inspired artists from generation to generation. Now it is your turn…
