Ken Miller Recreation Center

Ken Miller has been intimately involved in the development of the community in the City of Torrance. As a City Council member and mayor for eight years each, he helped the City of Torrance establish land use controls and transformed Torrance into a major South Bay retail shopping center.

Ken Miller has long been an advocate for the acquisition and preservation of open space. During his tenure as mayor, the City's parkland grew from less than 100 acres to around 300 acres; Columbia, Wilson, Delthorne, Sunnyglen, and De Portola Parks are part of the Ken Miller legacy. Under his leadership, the City of Torrance also promoted mutual friendship and goodwill through the initiation of the Sister City Program with the City of Kashiwa, Japan, in 1973. Torrance continues its relationship with its sister city Kashiwa through the Sister City Association.
