Welcome to the King Gillette Ranch Planning Project, a coordinated effort undertaken by the California State Parks, the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, the National Park Service and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. The website is intended to help you learn more about King Gillette Ranch and the process being used to plan its future. Additionally, you can find here a quick means by which to retrieve current information and documents used in the planning process. Finally, this site also provides an electronic mail drop for sharing comments so that you, too, can participate in the planning effort.

About the Project
The King Gillette Ranch Property is a key parkland property located, at the intersection of Mulholland Highway and Las Virgenes/Malibu Canyon Road, the very heart of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. Since 1926, when razor-blade baron King Gillette purchased the property, the site has had a number of owners and different names. A unique collaboration of park agencies and interests acquired this 588-acre tract in the spring of 2005. King Gillette Ranch will open to the public in June 2007. The King Gillette Ranch Planning Project will continue until the park is fully operational. January 2008 also represents the targeted completion date for the King Gillette Ranch Planning Project.

Thinking Green
The park agencies of the Santa Monica Mountains are committed to more sustainable future through programs and policies that support more effective use of our planet’s limited resources. To conserve paper and energy, we urge you to make full use of this site as an alternative to printed documents sent via the mail. Doing so will also save your parks thousands of dollars, better invested in improved services and resource protection.
