Tarzana (/tɑːrˈzænə/) is a suburban neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, California.

Los Angeles Times founder and publisher General Harrison Gray Otis invested in the company and also personally acquired 550 acres (2.2 km2) in the center of modern-day Tarzana.

[2] In February 1919, Edgar Rice Burroughs, author of the popular Tarzan novels, relocated to California from Oak Park, Illinois.

Tarzana, which measures 8.79 square miles (22.8 km2), is bounded on the south by Topanga State Park, on the east by Encino, on the north by Reseda and on the west by Woodland Hills.

Due to its inland location, there is a higher degree of diurnal temperature variation than more coastal areas of Los Angeles.

The U.S. Census counted 35,502 people living in Tarzana in 2000, and Los Angeles estimated the neighborhood's population at 37,778 in 2008.

At the top of the trail hikers and mountain bikers will see signs leading the entrance of Topanga State Park.
