Silver Lake, California

The Silver Lake area is located just five miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles and just east of Griffith Park. The district gets its name from the Department of Water and Power's Silver Lake Reservoir, which was named after Herman Silver, a member of Los Angeles? first Board of Water commissioners. The Department of Water and Power established these reservoirs in the early 1900s as part of the city-wide system of water storage & delivery that today has only 10 open reservoirs remaining.

While the primary purpose is both a water storage and delivery facility, the reservoir property provides both a focal point and affords quality of life benefits to the community. In addition to the obvious open space, water and greenscape view shed, the Neighborhood Nursery School (at the corner of Armstrong & Tesla) serves to help bind the community together. It has been in existence for over 50 years, and children of children of children of early attendees are happily participating at this parent-owned cooperative school.
