The San Dimas Canyon Nature Center was the first nature center in the Los Angeles County Park system opened in the 1950s. For decades, nature enthusiasts have come to discover the center’s unique artifacts, fun facts about the native animals, and learn exciting information about the area and its rich history. 

The beautiful 128-acre surrounding park is an ideal bridge into the natural world. One can traverse the wildlife sanctuary, campgrounds, and hiking trails. There are also playgrounds, sports fields, and picnic areas on site. We hope your visit will make you appreciate plants and animals more. It may inspire you to help protect local wildlife and natural resources.
