Trails, landmarks and weekends close to home

Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency (COSCA)

The City of Thousand Oaks and the Conejo Recreation and Park District created COSCA in 1977 under a joint powers agreement. Thousand Oaks and its planning area hold 15,334 acres of protected open space. COSCA owns or manages more than 12,700 of those acres and maintains more than 150 miles of trails. Its list of about 40 named open space areas includes Los Robles, Conejo Canyons, Lang Ranch, Dos Vientos, Mt. Clef Ridge, Rancho Potrero and Lynnmere. A staff of ten rangers patrols the system.

Wildwood Regional Park

This park covers about 1,765 acres on the west side of Thousand Oaks, in the western Simi Hills. Trails along Arroyo Conejo lead to Paradise Falls, Lizard Rock, Little Cave and the teepee overlook. The park was created in 1967, when the Conejo Recreation and Park District acquired Mount Clef Ridge and Wildwood Canyon from the Janss Investment Company, and COSCA operates it today.

Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area

Congress authorized this recreation area on November 10, 1978. It is a patchwork of federal, state, local and private land, and its boundary takes in about 153,800 acres across the Santa Monica Mountains and Simi Hills. The National Park Service owns about 23,600 of those acres, and the park headquarters office is in Thousand Oaks. In this region the park's sites include Paramount Ranch, Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa and Cheeseboro/Palo Comado Canyons.
