Temescal Gateway Park in Pacific Palisades is one of the most popular parks in the Santa Monica Mountains. The park encompasses 141 acres of oak and sycamore canyons, ridgetop views, and access to miles of trails in Topanga State Park, Will Rogers State Historic Park, and the 20,000-acre “Big Wild.”
Park amenities include easy to moderate trails, picnic tables and grassy areas, restrooms, meeting rooms, an auditorium, and classrooms. Many educational and outreach programs are held at Temescal for children throughout the City. The Temescal Canyon Conference and Retreat Center provides overnight accommodations for up to 100 people, and the architecturally distinctive Temescal Dining Hall serves as a beautiful location for events of all kinds.
