Facility Overview

Located in the heart of the vibrant Westwood Village, the Westwood Village Square parking area provides accessible surface-level parking for those navigating this bustling academic and commercial district. The facility is designed for standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and compact SUVs. Please be advised that the lot is an open-air surface configuration, meaning there are no vertical clearance restrictions associated with covered garages; however, oversized vehicles such as full-size vans or lifted trucks may find maneuvering space tight during peak occupancy hours.
