The Canyon is the Great Park’s most distinctive element. Two miles long and up to 60 feet deep, the heavily planted Canyon is dramatically cooler than the surrounding urban areas. The Great Canyon is an oasis where visitors can stroll along paths and trails bordered by native palms, woodlands and Mediterranean ornamentals. A perennial stream with a string of small pools will run the length of the Great Canyon.

A series of dramatic bridges will allow visitors to cross the canyon at various points, creating many opportunities to enjoy the view. The most dramatic of these bridges is the “Bridge of 2 Towers,” which connects a zig zag path across one of the widest parts of the Canyon.
