Address: 2238 Silver Lake Blvd, Silver Lake, CA

One of the city’s hippest spots for a jog, bike ride, or park picnic. Aside from the scenic reservoir, on-site amenities include a healthy green meadow, gate-enclosed dog park, playground, basketball court, restrooms, and sweeping views of the historic hillside homes.

While at the reservoir, test your fitness on the Mattachine Steps (2355 Cove Ave) – a steep, secret staircase one block south of the grassy meadow.
