Protecting, enhancing, and celebrating the Lake is critical to Lake Elsinore’s City and community health. • Downtown: Enhancing and creating the highest quality downtown experience will serve to create a strong sense of place that will shape the City’s identity as a place where residents and visitors can live, work, and play. • Action and Adventure: Lake Elsinore’s programs, facilities, and natural environment will define the City as a destination for action and adventure for both visitors and residents. Our Aspirations are broad, long-term goals that encapsulate what we hope to achieve in Lake Elsinore’s future. The City has identified 4 key aspirations to work towards.
