The cherry trees are in bloom in the Sepulveda Basin around Balboa Lake.
Balboa Lake is in Anthony C. Beilenson Park the San Fernando Valley, on Balboa Blvd. just off the Ventura Freeway. Drop by if you’re in the area. The city planted huge swaths of matching pink flowering trees a few years ago and they’ve really gotten big enough to make an impact.
The city has continued planting more pink flowering cherry trees around the basin, creating large blankets of pink covering sections of the park. You can see them along Balboa up to Victory Blvd., and sprinkled around the lake and waterfall.
