A roll in the park

Balboa-Lake-006
No, I have not transformed into a duck. This is some of the local wildlife.

On Sunday Debbie and I went to Lake Balboa Park, which is part of the Sepulveda Dam Recreation Area and not too far from home. The park has paved trails and we went all the way around the lake - about 1.3 miles according to the city's information page. The park is part of a 2000-acre flood control basin, with golf courses, a wildlife area, sports centers and more. I can't believe we've lived here for so long and had never been before, but now that we know what's there and that a lot of it is accessible, we'll hopefully be going again soon.

  1. There's a great Japanese garden attached to the park (actually the water treatment plant next to the park). Quite nice. It's where Karin and I got married--although she hates it when I say we were married at a sewage treatment plant.
