The effects of the fire were visible in the park, as much of the chaparral and grasslands were burned away, and Oak tree canopies burned off. A total of 24,175 acres (100 km 2) were burned, and it cost over $8 million to contain and extinguish the fire. By October 3, 2005, the fire had been contained. By September 29, the fire had reached the Preserve, and burned a large portion of the park near, and including, El Escorpion Park. On September 28, 2005, the Topanga Canyon Fire broke out between the west-bound State Route 118 and Topanga Canyon Boulevard. In 2003 the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy purchased the land from WAMU for an open space preserve and nature reserve Park. However, in 1998, Home Savings of America was bought by Washington Mutual for $6.4 billion. The plans included over 3,000 homes, two golf courses, and 400,000 square feet (40,000 m 2) of commercial and residential space. It sat unused, with no plans for development, until 1989 when Home Savings of America announced their plans for the 5,400 acres (22 km 2) property.

National Park service's Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail goes through the Preserve, entering in Moore Canyon from El Escorpion Park and Vanowen Street. The 1769 Juan Bautista de Anza expedition, the first European exploration by land of Las Californias, passed by the area. This cave also appeared in the films The Canyon of Missing Men (1930) and Tarzan and the Golden Lion (1927). This is the believed cave of a mythical Chumash shaman who was killed after murdering the son of a Chumash chief. A cave known as The Cave of Munits exists just inside the property. The peak is one of nine alignment points in Chumash territory and is essential to maintaining the balance of the natural world. On Bell Creek beside Escorpión Peak (Castle Peak) a large rocky mountain on the property of El Escorpion Park, is the reported site of this village. The Chumash had, prior to European involvement, at least one village on the land, Huwam, a multi-cultural village where Chumash, Tongva, and Tataviam peoples lived.
