Upper Ventu Park is the steep south end of Ventu Park, where South Ventu Park Road climbs past the last houses toward the ridge above Hidden Valley. Most of it was platted in 1924 as Ven-Tu Park Extensions No. 2, 3 and 4, but only about 25 homes stand there today.

About

About Upper Ventu Park

Ventura County's Thousand Oaks Area Plan maps it as its own planning sub-area (No. 9), separate from the Ventu Park core (No. 8). It is designated Open Space (OS-20), which sets a 20- to 40-acre minimum for new lots, while the core is Urban Residential at two to four homes per acre. Extension No. 4 alone, recorded Aug. 29, 1924, covered about 420 acres of narrow cabin lots, many of them 25 feet wide. Its western part was later re-subdivided inside Thousand Oaks as Tract 4136. About 400 parcels in the upper area have no buildings, and many now belong to the Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency as Southern Ridge open space. The area is a State Responsibility Area rated Very High for fire hazard.

Ventu Park is a hillside neighborhood of about 540 homes along South Ventu Park Road, climbing from Lynn Road toward the ridge above Hidden Valley. Its lots were laid out in 1924 as the Ven-Tu Park Club and Cabin Sites. The five maps were surveyed by Dan S. Miller and filed by J. L. Evans, and the lots were sold as getaway and hunting-cabin sites.
