Lake Balboa
Named for the iconic lake in the Sepulveda Basin, Lake Balboa is an idyllic community that includes tennis courts, baseball fields, cricket fields, an archery range, walking trails, two golf courses, wildlife areas, bike paths, and the LA River. Community members enjoy the picturesque and historic Japanese Garden that uses reclaimed water to ensure the sustainability of these assets.
Beyond its beauty, Lake Balboa’s residential streets are filled with thousands of single family homes looking to preserve their community and residential feel. Learn about how the Councilwoman is working with community members to protect this area.
