Silver Lake Reservoir: How An Unused Body of Water Could Become an Urban Oasis

It was with great interest that I read this article on proposed plans for Silver Lake Reservoir, which will soon be decommissioned as LA’s water supply is moved underground. There are proposals for a swimming area, a beach and an esplanade, any of which would be a boon for park-starved Angelenos.
New recreational facilities would make Silver Lake Reservoir a welcome destination for tourists as well. Perhaps the redesigned Reservoir would grow popular enough to siphon some of the Beachwood’s tourist traffic to an area that is far more accessible than Beachwood Canyon. I can dream, can’t I?

Thanks for sharing. I grew up in Glendale and I’ve spent most of my life going to the shops in Silverlake, yet I had never seen the reservoir until I had a job down the street from it back in November. It’s beautiful and such a fun area!
