Today,
this master planned community in Saddleback Valley
is home to over 78,000 residents. Their official
slogan, "Remember the Past - Challenge
the future" is the ideal that will continue
to shape the city's future.
Incorporated
as a city in 1991, Lake Forest is currently the
most densely populated city in South Orange County
which has expanded its borders to include the
communities of Foothill Ranch and Portola Hills
since being incorporated.
The
city has two man-made lakes from which the city
gets its name. The 'Forest' in their name comes
from the tall beautiful trees which line the streets
between Ridge Route, Jeronimo, Lake Forest Road
and Serrano Road.
Along
with 20 public parks, Lake Forest is also home
to two county parks - Whiting Ranch Regional Wilderness
Park & Heritage Hill Historical Park. Within
the city limits, residents and visitors can enjoy
tennis, handball, basketball and volleyball courts,
golf, hiking, biking, and equestrian, boating
and swimming.
