The Silver Lake Reservoir Complex in Los Angeles, California, consists of two concrete-lined basins, Ivanhoe Reservoir and Silver Lake, maintained by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Ivanhoe Reservoir remains online, holding 795 million US gallons of water, while Silver Lake Reservoir has been taken offline permanently due to contamination issues.
Surrounded by recreational areas and a walking path, the reservoir serves as a focal point of the community and a regional recreational resource. The future of The Silver Lake Reservoir Complex involves a community-led initiative to repurpose the site, with a Master Plan finalized in August 2020 to guide improvements and protection of the reservoirs while balancing their historic character and recreational spaces.
