Situated in Pacific Palisades, the Santa Monica Mountains’ 14-acre park contains canyons and rolling hills dotted with oak and sycamore trees. Originally developed in the 1920s as a Chautauqua movement retreat by Reverend Dr. Charles Holmes Scott, the park came under Presbyterian Synod ownership in 1943 and functioned as a retreat until 1994, when the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy acquired it.
Today, Temescal Canyon Park exists as a wildlife-rich recreational haven that connects with protected land in the Will Rogers State Historic Park and Topanga State Park, as well as a 20,000-acre wilderness area spanning the Santa Monica Mountains. One of the park’s most popular offerings is the Temescal Outdoor Education Program, which focuses on introducing youth from disadvantaged backgrounds to the beauty of nature.
