Facility Overview
The Green Lot (Lot 6) at 3986 S. Hoover St. is a premier open-air surface parking facility situated in the heart of the Exposition Park district in Los Angeles. As a ground-level lot, it offers an expansive layout that eliminates the vertical clearance concerns often associated with traditional parking structures. This makes it an ideal choice for larger vehicles, including full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and high-roof passenger vans. Its surface-level design allows for straightforward navigation and stress-free parking, even for inexperienced drivers.
