Franklin Canyon Park

Franklin Canyon Park extends across 605 acres of land, featuring a three-acre lake, grasslands, oak woodlands, and five miles of hiking trails.

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power initiated the construction of a reservoir in upper Franklin Canyon in 1914 under William Mulholland's direction.

The Sooky Goldman Nature Center presents exhibitions and educational programs about local wildlife and natural ecosystems for visitors and school groups.

Three principal trails - Discovery, Berman, and Hastain - wind through the park, with sections appropriate for different hiking experience levels.

The park's lake and pond function as essential rest points for birds traveling along the Pacific Flyway migration route throughout the year.
