Overview & Suitability
The Lot W (West Garage) is a premier multi-level structured parking facility located at 1015 Chick Hearn Ct, Los Angeles, CA. It serves as one of the primary, highly secure parking hubs for the bustling L.A. LIVE entertainment district, the world-renowned Crypto.com Arena, and the Peacock Theater. The garage is designed strictly for standard passenger vehicles. Due to structure and height constraints, this facility cannot accommodate oversized vehicles, including RVs, motorhomes, limousines, buses, or sprinter vans. Tailgating and overnight parking are also strictly prohibited.
