[edit] Cultural references
Iggy Pop's song "Kill City" refers to the then-closed POP: "I'm living in Kill City where the debris meets the sea." Iggy was living in Venice at the time he wrote the song (1974).
There was a rock club adjacent to POP called The Cheetah in the 1960s.
Choreographed scenes from Nancy Sinatra's 1967 special "Movin' With Nancy" were filmed at Pacific Ocean Park shortly after it closed.
[edit] poop, uh, pop.
The article does not list who decided closure, nor motivation.
Nor the motivation of "...demolished and streets leading to the park were closed."

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Popark.jpg
Image:Popark.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
