An access trail from Kanan Dume Road was approved in 2015.[3] Trails to connect Ramirez Canyon with Escondido Canyon and Corral Canyon parks are being planned.[4]

The park was renamed Ramirez Canyon Park in 2009.[5] In May 2011, Governor Jerry Brown announced a plan to sell the park as part of a budget he has put forward. The sale of the park was opposed by the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, which owns and manages the park.[2]

In the 2018 massive California fires, the Peach House, the most famous structure of former Barbra Streisand's Malibu estate, which was donated to the state as open space, was completely destroyed . Four other buildings were saved in what is known as Ramirez Canyon Park (MRCA).[6]
