We ask that all potential rental clients fill out the Event Proposal form found on the contact page. From there our team will be able to evaluate your form and determine if your event can occur in the park. Once your form is evaluated, the rentals team will send you an email letting you know the status of your proposal.
Event proposals are evaluated holistically and many items are taken into consideration, including size and scope of the event, staff capacity, and calendar as it pertains to blackout dotes and other scheduled events. Blackout dates are put into place either because of already scheduled events or for the park to be a resource to the residents of L.A. County as a public space. Please see our availability calendar in the link on our page to inform your scheduling.
Events that are not approved will receive an evaluation email explaining why the event was not approved, including whether there is an adjustment that can be made to allow your event to be held in the park. Instructions on any proposed adjustments will be included in the evaluation email. Not all events that are proposed are approved, but the Grand Park team does their best to accommodate everyone.
The park is divided into four separate areas, all with various capacities. Capacity numbers are based on space available and do not take into account items that may decrease the footprint/. The more elements added to the event (i.e. tents, tables and chairs, a stage, etc.), the lower the capacity becomes. Capacity is determined by Los Angeles City Fire Marshal.
Each area of the park has a designated rental fee set by the County of Los Angeles that is charged based upon the length of time necessary from set up until tear down. Cost estimates include any additional necessary Grand Park personnel such as staff, security, maintenance, etc. This estimate will be sent after the event has been approved to occur in Grand Park.
Budgeting for events in Grand Park is dependent on the type of event and content of the event. Grand Park is an outdoor space; traditional elements that may be included in an indoor rental setting may not be available in Grand Park. Some elements to consider are sound equipment, lighting, portable restrooms, fencing, and permits (For example, permits for stage builds, street closures and food vending). The rentals team will assist in explaining what may be needed.
There is no requirement to work with selected vendors to have an event in Grand Park. The rentals
team is available as a resource for vendors if needed.
Please visit our CONTACT/RENTAL INFO page and fill out the Vendor Inquiry form. We will contact you only if the opportunity arises.

Yes. Grand Park was designed for both public and private use. Visitors can enjoy a picnic or purchase food and beverages on-site. Please practice physical distancing, with a minimum of 6-feet apart from other guests.
Grand Park was designed as an eco-friendly park with water conservation in mind. In addition to the native and drought-tolerant plants and landscaping, the park has a state-of-the-art irrigation system.
All non-turf areas have drought-tolerant plant material and are watered by subsurface drip irrigation that eliminates overspray and runoff. This saves more than 30% of water use compared with conventional overhead spray irrigation. That system includes Flow Sensing and Master Valves that detect breaks in the irrigation system and send alerts so any leaks can be fixed immediately. Plus, the Park has installed “smart irrigation controllers” that adjust watering as a result of weather and moisture levels.
The Grand Park fountain uses recirculated water. It is a historic fountain so it is kept running at the lowest possible level to keep the inner workings going and to prevent any corrosion or other problems. It no longer “dances” but is set on “static” mode. The fountain is incredibly efficient and, because it is recirculating, uses only 20 gallons of water per year.
Yes. Visitors will find recycling bins located throughout the park.
Dogs are allowed in the park but must be on a leash at all times. A dog run on the Event Lawn (near the Spring Street entrance) offers an off-leash area for dogs and their owners.
Grand Park follows all ADA standards for accessibility. Visitors can call 213-972-8080 for more information.
Security for the park is provided 24-hours-a-day. In addition, security cameras, monitored daily, are located throughout the park to ensure the safety of all park patrons.
Yes. Visitors are free to move furniture for use within the same area of the park. Moving furniture across the street to other portions of the park is prohibited.
The park is open to everyone. Individuals, companies and organizations are welcome to rent space for public or private events at the park. If you’re interested in renting a space in Grand Park, please visit the contact us page.
