Facility Overview
Sunshine Parking, located at 676 New High St, Los Angeles, CA 90012, is a conveniently positioned surface-level parking lot serving the historic heart of Downtown Los Angeles. Situated in the Civic Center district, this facility operates as an open-air lot, providing easy accessibility for drivers who prefer not to navigate the tight turns and height restrictions of subterranean garages. The lot is well-suited for standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and most mid-size SUVs. Due to its open-air design, there are no overhead clearance limitations, making it a viable option for taller pickup trucks and larger vehicles, provided they fit within the standard-sized stall markings.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This location is strategically placed for those visiting the core administrative and cultural hubs of Los Angeles. Within a short walking distance, visitors can access the Los Angeles City Hall, the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, and the scenic Grand Park. For foodies and culture seekers, the world-famous Olvera Street and the vibrant culinary scene of Chinatown are just a few blocks away. The facility is also an excellent base for those heading to the Walt Disney Concert Hall or The Broad museum, both reachable within a 10-15 minute walk.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Access to the lot is primarily gained from New High St, which experiences moderate traffic flow typical of the Downtown LA grid. Exiting during peak rush hour or following local civic events may require patience, as traffic tends to bottleneck near major intersections. The lot benefits from proximity to the LA Metro B Line and D Line at the Civic Center/Grand Park Station, which is located just a few blocks south, facilitating seamless connectivity to the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area via public transit.

Always ensure your license plate is correctly entered at the pay station to avoid potential citations, and keep your parking receipt clearly displayed on your dashboard if required by on-site signage.
