Deervale Stone Canyon Park

Deervale-Stone Canyon Park has one of the area's most spectacular views.

But for more than a decade, the Sherman Oaks park was a local secret. The few who were in the know about the 80-acre spread would venture in to walk dogs, hike and bike. One shrewd vagrant managed to find a home amid the untamed oaks and shrubs.

But in effect, the park — though officially open to the public — was reserved for deer and coyotes.

There was no sign, no parking lot, no gate. Confusion reigned over how to get inside. Even parks officials weren't sure where exactly the entrance was. They suggested would-be visitors would have the choice of navigating a steep cliff, scaling the mountainside or hacking through brush.

Differing views on how to get into the park pitted neighbor against neighbor in this upscale Sherman Oaks enclave.

For years, some seeking access to the park used a driveway next to the property. The owners objected. An agreement with the city for another entry point on Deervale Place seemed to have gotten lost.
