Local and State Parks
You might say Long Beach is one big park. After all, its beautiful beach is referred to as the “Ocean Beach Park.” But Long Beach also has numerous children’s playgrounds that dot the entire city. During the summer, parks are run with recreation staff who supply cold water, sidewalk chalk, jump ropes and more. They are also there to make sure that all of the equipment is in working order. The Department of Parks and Recreation will once again provide Family Fun in the Park this summer in rotating parks throughout the season. The program features family-friendly activities, shows, games and more. Visit longbeachny.gov/rec for more information.
Long Beach marked the grand opening of its new skate park in 2015 with its first Bowl-a-Rama Skate Jam Contest, presented by Skudin Surf.

Shine’S
to celebrate 100 years in L.B.
By Brendan Carpenter
This year, Shine’s will celebrate its 110th anniversary. The building is even older, dating back to the 19th century. Once called a tavern, it has been owned by three families since Eugene Shine, an Irish immigrant, opened shop in 1912. Shine owned it for over 30 years, and even stayed open secretly during Prohibition, from 1920 to 1933.
At one point during that era, Shine’s was raided, and was found to be stockpiling about $300,000 worth of alcohol, Casey said. The trap door leading to the area under the bar where patrons drank in secret is still there.
The pub was sold in 1946 to Michael V. Delury, the father of former Long Beach City Councilman Mike Delury, for $12,000. Mike V. had been working at the bar after returning from World War II, and wanted to buy it and allow Shine to retire.
The $12,000 was an employee loan from Msgr. John Cass of St. Ignatius Martyr Church. Michael J. Delury, Michael V.’s father, was employed as a sexton at the church. St. Ignatius had a couple of stipulations for the loan: The establishment must be closed on Good Friday and women must not work behind the bar.
Both are still followed today.
One of Shine’s regulars, Rich Doraio, of Long Beach, has been to several St. Pat’s celebrations there, and takes part in the bar’s annual New York-to-California bike tour around the city’s streets. There’s a tradition of sharing a drink after the tour.
Shine’s, at 55 California St., is the “first place you go into the West End and the last place on your way out,” Doraio said. “It’s a tradition. It’s really cool to say you’ve been to Shine’s.”
As you walk through the main door, the bar is on the left and the pool room on the right. The bar is where a garage used to be attached to the building, with the same entryway and wooden doors. The bar top is also unchanged since the days of Prohibition.
Shine’s is rife with history.
The legendary New York City journalist Jimmy Breslin used to sweep up the bar after hours when he was a teenager. He wanted free drinks for his work. He got them.
Courtesy Shine's Shine’s Bar has been a Long Beach staple offering food, drinks and good times for 100 years.
