Facility Overview
Located at 709 W Olympic Blvd in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, this SP+ managed parking facility provides a critical parking solution for visitors to the South Park district. The lot is an open-air surface facility, providing high-visibility and ease of entry compared to complex multi-level underground garages. It is well-suited for standard passenger cars, mid-size SUVs, and sedans. Due to its open-air design, there are no overhead height restrictions, making it an accessible choice for larger vehicles that might otherwise struggle with low-clearance garage ceilings; however, drivers of oversized high-roof vans or long-bed trucks should exercise caution to ensure they fit within standard stall markings.
