The William S. Hart Park, in Newhall, California, was bequeathed to the County of
Los Angeles by the man whose name it bears. Originally called the "Horseshoe Ranch"
it contains almost 300 acres of rolling hills on which there are many specimens of
native oak.
The Park represents many things: a recreation area, a picture of the man and his era,
ranch life in California at the turn of the century, and an aura of the West. The Park
has picnic facilities and foot trails which lead to the ranch house, corral, park office, dog
cemetery, barns, the grave of Fritz, his favorite horse, bunk house, swimming pool, turret
and the Hart residence - La Loma de los Vientos (The Hill of the Winds);
