Silver Lake Reservoir: How An Unused Body of Water Could Become an Urban Oasis
Silver Lake Reservoir/Courtesy LA Times 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?
