| Official opening of Silver Lake Meadow 4/2/11 |
|
|
I went to my first community meeting about the Silver Lake Meadow in 1999. It seemed rather far-fetched at the time that one day there would be walking paths and the long-closed open space--home to coyotes-- would open to people. Happy to be there on Saturday to see the day finally come. Council member Eric Garcetti gave a special shout-out to the tireless efforts of the Committee to Save Silver Lake Reservoirs, now renamed the
Silver Lake Reservoirs Conservancy.

| Think Georges Seraut: the meadow is dotted with people immediately. |
Still to come is the completion of the walking path on Tesla Ave. Locals have already weighed in on the meadow. It's a hit. Sunday saw bocce ball and croquet players, loads of families and posts that the park might
stay poop free.

| Silver Lake Meadow rules: no dogs, bikes or vending. | |

The far side of the meadow, closest to the reservoir, is indeed a quiet place.
