Following a 10-month closure after the Palisades fire, Will Rogers State Historic Park has reopened, effective Saturday, November 8.
“The public will have access to specific trails and areas as ongoing repairs and recovery work are completed,” according to California State Parks.
The park will be open daily between 8 a.m. and sunset. Parking is “very limited,” so visitors are encouraged to use public transportation or rideshare services.
“At Will Rogers State Historic Park, flames destroyed the historic 31-room ranch house, horse stables, and other historic and non-historic park facilities, while damaging approximately 300 historic trees, fencing and miles of trails,” read a statement from California State Parks. “As the park reopens, the future of the park will be planned in collaboration with the public, stakeholders and neighbors from fire-impacted communities. Community engagement activities are scheduled to begin in 2026.”
