Oakwood Memorial Park

The cemetery, located at 22601 Lassen Street in Chatsworth, has been used as a burial site since sometime in the nineteenth century, beginning with its use as an Indian burial ground.

The Old Stagecoach Trail bisects the cemetery, and rock for the Los Angeles harbor breakwater was quarried here.

In 1965 the Chatsworth First Methodist Church was moved to Oakwood, and one room is devoted to displaying artifacts from the history of Chatsworth.
