During the public comment period, the council heard from Parks and Recreation commissioner Alicia Peak and numerous Malibu Little League board members who called to speak about the local coastal program permit needed for the Snack Shack.

“This is not OK and needs to be changed immediately. There is a permit from 1986, the year I was born, for a concession stand that was approved by the Coastal Commission, this is five years prior to cityhood,” Peak said. “More than ever, kids need a space to be kids, to connect away from devices and social media. We need a space where kids can sit down and share a burger. Malibu is a small town, with not many outlets for our youth. The Snack Shack has been an institution before Malibu was even a city.”

The shack last served the park during the spring 2019 Little League season. The shack was operated by parents of the Little League and served hot foods such as hot dogs, pretzels, and burgers. Due to the park being zoned as public open space, zoning restrictions prohibit refreshment stands and other fixed-location outdoor food vending stands. However, after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the 2020 Little League season, the shack went without maintenance and fell into disrepair. Since the return of Malibu Little League and Malibu AYSO to Malibu Bluffs Park, food is now served by food trucks parked on Winter Mesa Drive within the park.

Malibu Little League Vice President John Alfano spoke in support of the Snack Shack and said it is the heart of Little League.

“We have 270 kids that are now involved, it’s really a sense of community what happens out there in the field and it’s how we met all the families and all the kids, but when what we found out when we go to other cities, we found out that snack shacks are where the kids go to hang out,” Alfano said. “That’s where they go to bond, build relationships, they get to flip burgers, sell merchandise, get a real experience of what it’s like to be in a community, and it’s a shame that we don’t have this.”

Alfano is a father of three and said the Little League participation has increased. His 10-year-old son spoke during public comment.

“I’d really love it if we could have a snack shack because talking to your friends is a great time and it’s fun, and after playing baseball, we can talk about our victory,” the younger Alfano said.
