Sepulveda Dam, Flood control dam in Los Angeles County, United States.
The Sepulveda Dam features a large concrete structure that holds back winter flood waters along the Los Angeles River, protecting surrounding communities from potential flooding.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed the dam in 1941 for $6,650,561 in response to the devastating floods of 1938 that caused 144 casualties.
The Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area includes Woodley Park, The Japanese Garden, and a wildlife refuge that attracts over 200 bird species during migration.
Visitors access recreational facilities at 17017 Burbank Boulevard in Encino, where they find baseball diamonds, soccer fields, and picnic areas with restrooms.
The dam will serve as a venue for archery and BMX cycling competitions during the 2028 Summer Olympics, highlighting its transformation into a multi-purpose facility.
