State adds little Las Flores Canyon as new parkland in Malibu

A generous property donation by Pepperdine University has added 72 acres of prime Santa Monica Mountains open space to California’s state parks system. Known as Little Las Flores Canyon, the parcel sits above the City of Malibu and adjoins the 1,255-acre Tuna Canyon Park, and becomes part of 18,000 acres of contiguous protected open space reaching from Topanga State Park west to Las Flores Canyon.
