June 15 Re-Opening of the Echo Park Lake Redesign

After a nearly two-year makeover, the Echo Park Lake is looking downright sparkly once again. The City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works deserves serious praise here, because the before and after photos are pretty inspiring: We spy a new boardwalk with seating area (outdoor concerts, anyone?), a boathouse ripe for a cafe opening, and new wetlands with soon-to-be bloomin' lotus flowers. Be there for the June 15 community opening, or simply take a leisurely after-work stroll around the lily pad-dotted lake. A mighty fine way to unwind, if you ask us. Learn more here.

When: Opening Event, Saturday, June 15 at 10 a.m.
Where: Echo Park Lake
