About this Location

Facility Overview

The 161 East Orange Grove Avenue Garage is a modern, centrally situated multi-level covered parking structure located in the heart of bustling Downtown Burbank, California. Serving as a crucial parking anchor for the city\'s pedestrian-friendly retail and entertainment core, the facility provides protected, multi-tier parking with direct, sheltered access to prime commercial corridors. The garage features wide drive aisles, clearly designated circulation ramps, and high-visibility stall striping designed to facilitate smooth inbound and outbound vehicle movement. It comfortably accommodates standard passenger sedans, crossover vehicles, minivans, and mid-sized to full-sized SUVs. However, due to its multi-story design, drivers should note the standard vertical clearance limit (typically 6 feet 8 inches), which restricts oversized commercial box trucks, high-roof conversion vans, and vehicles equipped with high roof-mounted racks.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because of its strategic downtown location, the garage experiences its highest traffic volumes during Friday and Saturday evenings between 6:30 PM and 9:30 PM. To secure the quickest parking on busy event nights, proceed directly up to the mid or upper levels, where stalls tend to open up faster. When exiting after a major blockbuster showing at the AMC, consider using the secondary exits towards North 1st Street to avoid pedestrian congestion along the San Fernando intersection. Always remember to take note of your level color or pillar number before descending the elevator.
