O'Melveny Park, Public park in Granada Hills, Los Angeles, US

O'Melveny Park is a public park of grassy picnic areas and hiking and horse trails in Bee Canyon, in the Santa Susana Mountains above Granada Hills. It is the second largest public park in Los Angeles after Griffith Park, managed by the City's Department of Recreation and Parks, and a caretaker lives in a residence on the grounds.

The park is named after Henry W. O'Melveny, a founder of the law firm O'Melveny & Myers and a 1927 member of the California State Parks Commission. His son, attorney John O'Melveny, bought the land in 1941 as C.J. Ranch, used for citrus, cattle and bulldogs. In the early 1970s John and Corinne O'Melveny sold and donated their interests to the city, and in 1976 the land was deeded for a park.

The park's name honours Henry W. O'Melveny, a founder of the law firm O'Melveny & Myers and a 1927 member of the California State Parks Commission. His son John bought the land in 1941 as C. J. Ranch, where citrus was grown, cattle grazed and bulldogs raised. Plaques honouring the family were approved in July 2008 and placed near the caretaker's house and a picnic area.

The park is managed by the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks, and a caretaker lives in a residence on the grounds. Trails for hiking and horses climb the hills east of the main park area and north of the parking lot, where brush fires have burned in the past. Bring water and sturdy shoes for the exposed climbs.

The citrus grove near the entrance is almost entirely grapefruit, a remnant of C.J. Ranch, where citrus was grown, cattle grazed and bulldogs were raised. Plaques honouring the O'Melvenys were approved in July 2008 and placed by the caretaker's house and in front of a picnic area.
