McCrea Ranch

RRM prepared a comprehensive master plan for McCrea Ranch, the former home of Hollywood western movie star Joel McCrea.
Preservation of the historic character of this former working ranch while providing a unique recreational experience were the goals of the design. Park amenities include regional trail links, a four-acre lake, event pavilion, group picnic facilities, equestrian center, hiking and equestrian trails, restored historic ranch, day camp facilities, two small amphitheaters and a ropes course.
The first phase of the master plan to be implemented was a ‘green’ 1,275 sf visitor center, nestled sensitively amongst the existing historic ranch compound. Solar panels provide up to 50% of the building’s power supply, and the surrounding landscape is a demonstration garden featuring drought-tolerant native planting, and displays of old ranch equipment.
