Flood risk Low — behind the levee (FEMA Zone X)

FEMA flood zones around the park: the whole park is striped orange, reduced risk behind the levee; blue high-risk areas are only in the creek channel to the east and across Lawrence Expressway to the west

FEMA · © OpenStreetMap contributors

Orange stripes: reduced flood risk thanks to the levee (Zone X). That is the whole park.
Blue: high risk (Zone AE). Only inside the Calabazas Creek channel to the east and across Lawrence Expressway to the west.

The park is outside FEMA’s high-risk flood zone, so lenders do not require flood insurance here. The levee lowers the risk but does not remove it, so flood insurance is still worth considering.

Aerial survey photograph from May 1968: the western half of the park built, the eastern half graded and empty — **May 1968 — a year old and half finished.** Homes fill the western half. On the eastern half the streets are already graded and curving through bare ground, waiting for the rest.

Aerial survey photograph from 1993 showing the completed oval street layout around a lake — **March 1993 — finished.** The same ground twenty-five years later, at the same scale: the oval closed, the lake at the centre, and the fields to the east turned into offices.
