    A nice place to watch the Sunset overlooking Topanga and Woodland Hills. Perfect for people who simply want to get some fresh air and be away from the city. A lot of people here before dark so finding a parking spot is a little difficult. Pets are welcome but please be responsible to pickup after your pets.

    It's okay. The valley looks nice. I was underwhelmed by the lack of nature (should've guessed). Fairly crowded when I went at 4pm. Young people hanging out in cars. There was parking.

    An awesome view spot of the West San Fernando Valley! Here’s a great place to stop off and see the West Valley area from way up high. It’s safe and there’s no danger of falling, tho a fence provides an added layer of protection for visitors, their children and pets! There’s several parking spaces and short walking paths to view from. Even picnic spots are available to do lunch with a view! Years ago, there were some hiking trails that connected with the backbone trails of other flanks. More recently, development has been encroaching here, and the adjoining trails have been sealed off with fencing. Now the Top of Topanga is, as the name implies, simply a view-spot!

    Beautiful views, quiet, and peaceful. There are a couple of trails, but I just went for a pausing place to sip coffee and enjoy the view.

    Incredible place to watch the sunset. The views are amazing and photos don’t do it justice.

    Fantastic overlook with easy road access and many parking lots. Unfortunately, the place is full of trash, which i can't understand since there are three huge bins on the spot. It was heartbreaking und upsetting, so I started collecting several large plastic bags, food wraps, plastic straws and cups and other debris. I had to stop after 20 minutes, but there was enough rubbish for some additional hours of work. Done by a good Frenchman longtime friend of the US and California.

    Thought this was a trail but it was just a nice little overlook spot, no hiking here just straight up park and view.

    This is a great little stop on Rte 27. There is a little trail to hike up and have a better view of the entire city. On a good day you can see all the way to the city. There is parking for about 10 cars. Also it's very hot up there when the the sun is beating down. I couldn't believe how hot it is.

    This has a nice view with the hills surrounding woodland hills. Not a lot to do hear. It is quiet and has parking available. Some small paths are well groomed. I would recommend for a short stop and view and sit and relax on the several benches available.

    So peaceful! Beautiful sunset views!

  • 5/5 Sophie W. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful for sunset, driving up and down there you get an amazing view too. Limited parking, but not bad for the non-summer seasons. There are scenic stops along the way so give yourself some extra time to stop and see!

    This is a great place to bring a date, or just by yourself to enjoy a lovely view. Parking is free but very limited. You may have to wait for parking. It's open from sunrise to sunset. I went in the afternoon right when it was sunset.

    Beautiful. Great swimming. Plenty of sea life!

  • 4/5 Paul R. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a nice view but also during my visit I have seen people come there to smoke weed so if you don’t mind it it’s OK.

  • 5/5 Jaqueline C. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place !!! Wanted to stay longer :(

  • 5/5 Helen A. 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning views of the valley, just off Topanga Canyon Blvd, with lots of free parking and a few picnic spots.

  • 4/5 Josh J. 1 year ago on Google
    Be aware of stop sign camera. The stop location is way too deep and can't see any incoming cars. And there's a camera to give out tickets if you don't stop. I will be opening a small claims court case due to this theft. Park location is great tho

  • 5/5 Chris B. 1 year ago on Google
    By far one of the best views in the valley hands down but remember to take your camera cause you’ll want to capture a shot!

  • 5/5 Sandy S. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful views of Santa Monica mountains

  • 4/5 Tom I. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to stop and have a snack or a rest. Great view of the West Valley. Generally kept clean and neat.

  • 5/5 John P. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place for a view of the San Fernando Valley above Warner Center. Small parking area and no facilities. Access from Topanga Canyon Road is only from northbound side of road.

  • 4/5 Marvin N. 9 months ago on Google
    Great view. Painful climb up from the coast 🥵🚴🏾

  • 5/5 Deep M. 6 months ago on Google
    I got a ticket while coming out of the parking… so be careful and don’t enter with a car after sunset. The night view from up here was amazing!!!

  • 5/5 Jimmy W. 7 months ago on Google
    In town for a few weeks on a work trip, figured I would try to get a better view of the place. This location delivered!! it is somewhat difficult to get in and out of specifically when it comes to parking, and there is a photo enforced stop sign on the way out that had me worried about a ticket, but overall was a pretty awesome stop.
