Meet at the main lot\, which is the second (lower) day-use parking lot per the Google map.  Entrance to the park is on the west side of Las Virgenes Road\, just south of Mulholland Hwy. \nEntrance fee is $12 per car. Click location below for more about MSCP and an Accessibility Note. \nWalks will be cancelled in the event of rain.

The park is home to an orange grove and trails through sycamores and alders. The Bee Canyon trail is chaparral and riparian area set between high rock walls. The last rest area for birds going north over the Santa Susana Mountains\, this is an excellent migrant trap. \nThe park is named after Henry W. O’Melveny\, in 1927 one of the original members of the California State Parks Commission. Originally called C.J. Ranch\, O’Melveny Park was purchased in 1941 by attorney John O’Melveny of O’Melveny & Myers and later acquired by The Trust for Public Land and turned into a park. \nAt 675 acres\, O’Melveny Park is the second largest public park in Los Angeles after Griffith Park. O’Melveny Park is managed by the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks. \nThe park is unstaffed. It provides large grassy areas\, picnic tables\, and is known for its extensive hiking and horse trails and the stunning views they lead to. Near the entrance is a grove of citrus trees. \nAccessibility at O’Melveny Park\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Parking\n \n \n \n \n \n Restrooms\n \n \n \n \n \n Benches (Shaded in Spring/Summer)\n \n \n \nThe outing is approximately two-thirds accessible\, with some travel on manicured lawns. Midway through\, we transition to hiking up hillside trails. Those who prefer not to hike can relax on shaded benches or conclude their outing at that point. Upon our return\, we take a different route back to the starting point. \nDirections: Take the 118/Ronald Reagan Freeway and exit at Balboa Blvd. Turn north\, driving two miles to Sesnon\, turn left going west 0.6 miles\, turn right at park entrance.
