I just want them to make the balls lurid primary colors, instead of all black, which is what I’ve heard is planned. LAME. Altough if they’re only on the Ivanhoe, I think you can’t even see that lake from the street–it’s all far behind wrought-iron bars (also lame, IMO). Lampnerd, do you know if there are plans to make it more accessible? At least a walking path with a view of the lake itself? Seems such a waste.

@bromike666 – you could pull some monster stalefish if you could keep momentum over to the other side

@lampnerd – thanks so much for the details – this is good to know.

The balls would only be used on the Ivanhoe reservoir, the smaller reservoir north of the main body of Silver Lake, which will continue to be used as a water-supply reservoir until the 110 million-gallon tank at the Headworks Spreading Grounds, which will completely replace the Silver Lake Complex facilities, is completed in about five years.

The main body of Silver Lake has already been removed from service. After completion of the Headworks tank, both reservoirs will just be decorative lakes.

Leave it empty and you’ve got the worlds largest skate park!

Balls all over floating in water, could be the makings of a fun summer outing…ballpits for adults. What concept. I say instead of looking at pillow fights we look at that as an activity this summer.

Just no one pee as it will eventually make it into the water supply.
