Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of the historic Hollywood Hills foothills, Hollywood Legion Parking serves the iconic American Legion Hollywood Post 43 and the renowned Hollywood Legion Theater at 2035 North Highland Avenue. This well-maintained, open-air surface parking lot sits immediately adjacent to the distinctive Art Deco-meets-Moroccan Revival clubhouse. Because it is an outdoor, open-sky lot without low-clearance ceiling restrictions, the facility accommodates standard passenger sedans, oversized SUVs, pickup trucks, and high-roof passenger or cargo vans that often struggle to fit into subterranean Hollywood garages. Wide driving aisles and dedicated stall striping allow for easy maneuvering and hassle-free vehicle positioning.

For public transit users, Metro B Line (Red Line) subway service is accessible at the Hollywood/Highland Station just 8 minutes away on foot, connecting travelers seamlessly to Universal City, Downtown Los Angeles, and North Hollywood.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Highland Avenue experiences heavy northbound congestion before major Hollywood Bowl performances; drivers are strongly encouraged to arrive 60 to 90 minutes before showtime to secure convenient entry. When leaving post-concert events, following the parking attendant\'s traffic flow instructions ensures rapid exit toward the 101 Freeway. For popular screening nights and sold-out Bowl concerts, check ahead for pre-paid reservation options or arrive early, as spaces fill quickly on high-demand summer evenings.
