After the devastating Palisades Fire in January 2025, which destroyed thousands of homes and displaced residents, Pacific Palisades has been under restricted access to facilitate cleanup and recovery.
The announcement by Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell on June 13, 2025, that the neighborhood will reopen to the general public on Saturday, June 14, represents a major milestone, reflecting the community’s resilience and the ongoing efforts to restore normalcy, supported by local and city initiatives.
