Facility Overview
Lot 504, managed by Paragon Parking, is a strategically located, open-air surface parking facility situated in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles at 340 S. Spring St. As a classic DTLA surface lot, it offers a no-fuss, attendant-style or meter-operated parking experience that is highly valued for its simplicity. The layout is designed for efficiency, making it an excellent choice for drivers who want to avoid the complexities of navigating multi-level structures.
