Second-largest city park in LA at 672 acres in Granada Hills, with meadows, canyons, and mountain trails reaching the crest of the Santa Susana Mountains.
O'Melveny Park is the second-largest city park in Los Angeles, encompassing 672 acres of rugged canyon terrain in the far north end of Granada Hills. The park ranges from gentle meadows with picnic facilities at the base to strenuous mountain trails that climb to the crest of the Santa Susana Mountains. A seasonal creek flows through the lower canyon, and the upper ridges offer commanding views of the entire San Fernando Valley.
🌟 Why Locals Go Here
It's a true wilderness experience inside city limits. The summit trail is one of the most challenging and rewarding hikes in the Valley, with views stretching to the ocean on clear days.
What to Expect
The lower meadow is easy and family-friendly. The upper trails are steep, exposed, and strenuous. Bring plenty of water — there's no shade on the upper ridges.
💡 Good to Know Before You Go
Park gates close at sunset. The lower picnic area fills early on weekends. Mountain lions have been spotted — stay aware on upper trails.
