Lake Watch

Based on recent lab results from lake water sampling, the City of Lake Elsinore is announcing that current levels of toxins from algae warrant no advisory at this time. People are advised to avoid scum, to not drink lake water, and to continue to keep pets out of the water.

The City will continue to test the water on a weekly or bi-weekly basis at this time and will post regular updates on the lake conditions as lab results are received.

Let's Build and Play Together, Lake Elsinore!

The City of Lake Elsinore is excited to celebrate Parks and Recreation Month this July. This year’s national theme, "Build Together, Play Together," highlights the role parks and recreation play in creating stronger, healthier, and more connected communities.

In Lake Elsinore, parks and recreation are about more than just open space. They bring families together, support active lifestyles, and provide programs that serve all ages and abilities. Our community is stronger and more vibrant because of the parks, trails, sports leagues, events, and public spaces that we enjoy throughout the year.

Throughout the month, the City is offering a variety of ways for residents to get involved and enjoy everything our parks and recreation team has to offer. From summer camps and aquatics to youth sports, senior programs, and outdoor concerts, there is something for everyone. You can also check out the newest upgrades at the Lake Community Center gym or plan a visit to Launch Pointe for family-friendly fun by the water.

We also want to recognize and thank the staff, volunteers, and community partners who help make these programs possible. Their work behind the scenes ensures that our parks are safe, clean, and ready for the community to enjoy.

We encourage residents to celebrate with us by sharing their park memories, stories, and photos on social media using #BuildTogetherPlayTogether. Show your appreciation for the parks and programs that make a difference in your life.

To see everything planned for Park and Recreation Month and explore our full list of summer activities, visit www.lake-elsinore.org. You can also find national resources and learn more about this initiative at www.nrpa.org/July.
