When we stayed at Balboa for 4 nights in March 2014, we never heard any jets take off or land, nor any Helicopter traffic. Never saw any, either.
Obviously, we did at Dockweiler, but even those jets didn't keep us awake at night. It's not like Dockweiler is directly under the flight path.

One thing people are neglecting to mention is that Balboa is backed up against the busiest non-commercial airport in the world. It's very noisy with the jet traffic, and helicopter departure ("Bull Creek") for most of the airport (and there are allot of them) is over the park. Doesn't bother me at all, but just FYI that the area behind the park on airport property is LAPD, LA County Fire, LA City Fire, Life Flight, and Helinet on the NE side that owns several TV station air OP's contracts. And operations CAN run all night
