FREE PARKING OUTSIDE THE PARK

 Site#1: You may park on two east corners of Las Virgenes Road and Mulholland Highway, on the dirt. Parking on these corners is "head-in-parking". Please observe "no parking" signs posted in some sections. Some parallel street parking is also available on Mulholland Highway to the west of Las Virgenes Road (on the side toward the 101 freeway). Please use the crosswalks at the traffic signal to cross to the other side of the street; CHP will ticket.  SITE #2: There is plenty of parallel street parking on both sides of Mulholland Highway to the west of Las Virgenes Road. Just follow Las Virgenes Road and turn right on Mulholland, cross over the bridge, and park on either side of the road.  SITE #3: There is a large Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area sign on the west side of Las Virgenes Road just north of Mulholland Highway (at the flashing light). There is a fairly good amount of space for parking here and at last inspection, there were no signs prohibiting parking. Please park in rows starting in the back of the lot, working toward the front of the lot; should accommodate about 50 cars with this method. From these corners, it is less than a 5-minute walk toward the west to enter Malibu Creek State Park.  SITE #4: There is quite a large shopping center at Albertson's Market down on Agoura Road, just west of Las Virgenes Road. You might consider CARPOOLING from this location.
