Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a stress-free parking experience, we highly recommend using mobile parking applications to pre-book your space during high-attendance local events, as this lot can reach capacity quickly during weekend festivals. When setting your GPS, ensure you are headed specifically to the 4th Street entrance to avoid one-way street complications common in the downtown grid. Arriving at least 30 minutes before your planned reservation time is recommended to account for typical Los Angeles surface street traffic.
