Facility Overview
The parking facility located at 10889 Wilshire Blvd, often referred to as the UCLA Lot 38 garage or the Wilshire Glendon parking structure, provides subterranean parking in the heart of the Westwood neighborhood. This multi-level underground garage is primarily designed to serve the 10889 Wilshire office tower and the adjacent UCLA Hammer Museum. The facility features a secure, covered layout with visitor parking spaces distributed across levels P1 through P4. While standard passenger vehicles fit comfortably within the designated stalls, drivers with oversized vehicles, such as high-roof vans or long-bed pickup trucks, should exercise caution due to typical subterranean ceiling clearances common in older commercial high-rises.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This parking location offers exceptional strategic value for visitors to the Westwood area. It is situated steps away from the UCLA Hammer Museum, making it a primary choice for art lovers and museum-goers. The facility is also within a short 5-to-10-minute walk of the historic Westwood Village, which is home to a vibrant mix of dining, nightlife, and iconic entertainment venues like the Regency Village and Bruin Theatres. For those visiting the UCLA campus, the location is a convenient starting point for accessing the southern edge of the university grounds, including the UCLA Wilshire Center and various medical and administrative offices.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Accessing the garage is straightforward for those arriving via the I-405 freeway; simply exit at Wilshire Blvd and head east. Drivers can enter the structure from Westwood Blvd or Glendon Ave. Upon entry, visitors are required to pull a ticket from the dispenser. For ease of exit, it is highly recommended that visitors secure a parking validation sticker from their destination within the building, as non-validated parking will be charged at standard transient rates. The area is well-served by major bus lines along Wilshire Blvd, providing excellent connectivity to Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and Downtown Los Angeles.
