This is a really beautiful Park to come and visit. There are plenty of trails that you can jog along, or even walk. Theres also areas with benches and shade where you can have a picnic and meet up with friends and family. There is plenty of wildlife on the lake (many different types of birds including real swans). You can also rent swan boats to paddle out onto the lake in! It was pretty busy here on a Sunday morning but it us still a peaceful place.

Surpised again by this naturally beautiful area right in the middle of the city. The day was a little chilly, but when we got next to the lake it was so super cold. The park was definitely busy, but not crowded. The park is huge and has a really lot of activities and trails to explore. As we walked, we found wildlife, fishing areas, fly casting practice areas, a wheelchair accessible baseball field (so proud to see this!), a playground, built in BBQ grills, pedal boats and bikes for rent, and then tons of food/art/balloon vendors. I did have questions for the guy cuddling the wild lake goose, but I was in a bit of a hurry so maybe next time 😆 🤣 This is such a great place to hang out with your family, a date, or even just by yourself ♥️

What a beautiful, sprawling landscape! There is so much to do here! There are playgrounds for the kids, lots of open space for picnicking, and plenty of hiking paths. Lake Balboa was beautiful right after it rained. We rented a paddle boat to get out on the lake and it was absolutely worth it! If you live in the San Fernando Valley this park should be on your bucket list! We will definitely take the family here again.

Beautiful park, peoples nasty and leave trash everywhere but beautiful park. Perfect to ride a boat, your skateboard or bicycle, play football or have a picnic, a photoshoot even and the sunsets are gorgeous.

A nice park where you can take your family and pets. A lot of activities can be done here and they have on-site grill available for everyone to use.Decent pathway around the lake (about 1.3 miles) with some elevation - perfect for jogging, walking, or running. I just hope that bird droppings will be cleaned because it can be slippery when you unknowingly stepped on one.Playgrounds are available for kids - fun activities like slides, swings, etc. Vendors are available around the place making it more lively - they sell various stuff ranging from food items to toys and balloons.

Wow. That sh!t was beautiful. I was out there hugging trees and sh!t. Just chilling with the ducks, its an amazing park, truly. They have vendors there during the weekends, they sell amazing goods and foods. The rentals here are seriously to die for. The swan is just one of them but you can grab bikes as well. Even if you come here with no money, you can still have a grand time just sightseeing.

Its a nice place if you wanna see some water and feel a bit of nature. They have some little boats you can rent and go onto the lake if youre interested. Bikes are also available for renting. Lots of little vendors with water, frozen treats, fruits, chips and one guy had some grilled pork/chicken on a stick that was amazingly good (I had the pork). Was kinda crowded and hard to find shade. I thought there would be more trees and it really should be. Not sure why they dont let more trees grow there. Restrooms were horrible...luckily Im a guy and only had to pee...I feel bad for the ladies. I warned some females as I was leaving and could hear them scream as they walked in. It was funny but it wasnt funny at the same time. 😐

This is a very large park, with various sport fields. It has a lake as well and you can use duck shaped paddle boats. A small waterfall is located at on end of the lake. The lake attracts many ducks that you can see it the picture. There are many benches to just enjoy the sites

I am sad to say that this park has simply lost all of its beauty. The overall experience was horrible the entire park was completely dirty full of trash food everywhere and at the end of the lake where the water Spillway is was the most horrific sight I have ever seen thousands and thousands of peoples clothes and trash embedded in the trees as far as your eye can see this was a complete disappointment do not take anybody there its not worth it it just makes you sad that even Nature has no importance anymore
