Sylmar Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

Our Take on Sylmar, California


Sylmar's history is interconnected with olives. Between 1820 and 1834, Father Iballa recognized that there are similarities between the soil and weather condition in Sylmar and in Europe. Because of this, he asked for seedlings from Spain and planted then; thus, Sylmar's reputation as an olive grower grew. However, Sylmar is more than just an ideal area with great climate because ever there are a variety of attractions that had been created here as well.

On your Sylmar vacations, you should visit the Stetson Ranch Equestrian Park; it is adjacent to the Angeles National Forest which is just below the mountains. On the other hand, another popular activity among travelers is hang gliding. Sylmar is actually noted to be the "World Capital of Hang Gliding" because of its scenic location and beautiful landscape.

Other Sylmar California things to do include golfing; there are two great golf courses in the area, including Cascades Golf Course and the El Cariso Golf Course. The town also has a public park, the Sylmar Recreation Center, which offers incredible greeneries for both families and couples alike.
