About us

Save LA River Open Space is committed to protecting the last remaining unprotected open space along the Los Angeles River in the San Fernando Valley.

Our goals for this unique and irreplaceable property on the L.A. River: 
  • Create natural water quality improvement opportunities
  • Enhance unique LA riverfront site
  • Permanent preservation for public open space
  • Restore natural habitat
  • Protect historical recreational use
  • Provide Los Angeles River and River Trail access
  • Ensure compatability with L.A. City’s LA River Revitalization Master plan and other regional plans for the L.A. River

We are a non-profit, all volunteer organization, allied with the Studio City Residents Association (SCRA). We are working with area leaders and regional organizations to protect critical open space in Studio City and surrounding areas of the San Fernando Valley. We are dedicated to protecting our environment and to partnering with regional community, civic and conservation groups to protect the precious open space resources of the L.A. River. We have fought for many years to protect this precious property, because we know that once it is lost, it can never be replaced. The Studio City area has over 40,000 residents, and has seen traffic and congestion steadily worsen. We know that green open space, mature trees and clean water are of paramount importance to us and to the region – not more development in an already over-built area with very few open space resources.
