critical to the health of the City and community.

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.
