Topanga Park to Undergo Extensive Improvements
- Share via
A stream bed, parking spaces and restrooms will be built in an extensive improvement of the Los Liones Canyon portion of Topanga State Park, officials said.
The stream, which had been channeled into a crumbling concrete pipe, is now being “naturalized” into a meandering stream bed using rocks and other natural materials, said state parks landscape architect Karen Adams.
Other improvements will include picnic areas, an outdoor classroom and better trail access from Pacific Coast Highway and Sunset Boulevard.
Hikers now must enter the canyon from a trail head near the top of Los Liones Drive.
The work is being completed with a $350,000 grant from Caltrans, said Randy Sederquist, a supervisor in the state parks agency’s Angeles District.
