Marvin Braude Mulholland Gateway Park

The park was named for former Los Angeles City Councilman Marvin Braude, who for more than 30 years led the effort to preserve the Santa Monica Mountains.

Braude Park connects with 11,000-acre (45 km2) Topanga State Park and the 20,000-acre (81 km2) "Big Wild" to create a large expanse of undeveloped wild land offering hiking, mountain biking and equestrian trails.

[2] On the ridgetop is the unpaved section of Mulholland Drive, closed to cars, for hiking and vistas north over the Valley and south over the Los Angeles Basin to the Pacific Ocean.

Lemming Trail offers a grand tour of the Santa Monica Mountains, from Tarzana to Topanga to Temescal to the Pacific.

The entrance to the park is located 3.2 miles (5.1 km) south of the Ventura Freeway on Reseda Boulevard up in the mountains.
