Many of you, especially the outdoor enthusiasts, have enjoyed a hike in Studio City’s very own and very beautiful Wilacre Park, located in the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. For years, it has been a destination for hikers and nature lovers to enjoy expansive views of the San Fernando Valley and the San Gabriel Mountains. However, the wildly popular Betty B. Dearing trail’s easy accessibility and leisurely trek left local residents with parked cars crowding neighborhood streets, leading to a significant impact on their quality of life. But now thanks to hard work and community and government collaboration, the congestion is coming to an end.
