Facility Overview
The 10940 Lindbrook Dr Garage, located at 1174 Gayley Ave in the heart of Westwood, Los Angeles, is a primary parking facility serving the vibrant Westwood Village district. This multi-level parking garage offers a structured, secure environment that protects vehicles from the elements, a significant advantage in the bustling urban landscape of West LA. The facility is well-suited for standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and most mid-to-full-size SUVs. Due to the nature of older structured parking in this area, drivers of high-roof cargo vans or lifted oversized trucks should exercise caution and note standard clearance signage upon entry to avoid vertical obstacles.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated just steps away from the UCLA campus, this garage serves as a strategic hub for university visitors, prospective students, and faculty. It is within a short walking distance of:
- UCLA Campus & Hammer Museum: Approximately a 5-10 minute walk.
- Westwood Village: Directly adjacent to high-end dining, movie theaters like the historic Fox Village Theatre, and local shopping.
- Medical Centers: Close proximity to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, making it a convenient option for visitors and outpatient services.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Accessing the garage is straightforward via Gayley Avenue. The facility is strategically positioned to connect drivers to major arteries such as Wilshire Boulevard and the I-405 freeway. While traffic in Westwood can be dense, the garage is positioned to allow for relatively efficient ingress and egress. For those using public transit, the location is extremely well-served by multiple Metro bus lines and is within reach of upcoming transit expansions, making it a viable park-and-ride option for those commuting toward Santa Monica or Downtown Los Angeles.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a smooth parking experience, we recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before any major events at UCLA or the nearby theaters to avoid peak traffic congestion. Always utilize GPS navigation to locate the primary Gayley Ave entrance, as some surrounding streets may have restricted turns. If you are planning an extended stay, check for any posted daily maximums, and keep your parking ticket in a secure location within your vehicle to facilitate an easy exit at the pay stations.
