Wilacre Park is managed by the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA).
Since 2014, the County of Los Angeles has subsidized maintenance at Wilacre Park, allowing the MRCA to provide free parking at this highly used trailhead. Due to recent budget reductions, the County is no longer able to continue this financial support. As a result, MRCA will be reinstating a parking fee to help sustain ongoing maintenance, safety, and operations at the park.
Beginning May 20, 2026, a $7 fee for up to two hours of parking for a maximum of 4 hours per day per vehicle will be implemented at the Wilacre Park trailhead. Payment will be collected via an electronic pay station, consistent with other MRCA park sites. Cash payment will also be accepted. The last time parking fees were in place at this location was in 2014.
