Frequently Asked Questions

I want to have my event in Grand Park. How do I start?

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 that status of your proposal.

How can I produce my own event at Grand Park?

The park is open to everyone. Grand Park plans free programming for the public year-round in partnership with community organizations, artists, and educators. Individuals, companies and organizations are welcome to rent space for public or private events at the park. If you’d like to rent a space to produce your own events, please visit the rental information page at grandparkla.org/rentals.

Are there lunch trucks at the park?

Grand Park is resuming the Lunch a la Park Food Trucks program, to serve local employees and park guests. For the schedule, please check our event calendar. Grand Park, along with our vendor partners, are practicing the following safety protocols:

  • All staff must wear appropriate PPE at all times in the park – masks and gloves
  • Any staff exhibiting symptoms of Covid-19 must stay home
  • No physical hand-out menus are allowed
  • All utensils must be in pre-wrapped packages to minimize contact
  • Condiments must be in individual, single-serving packages
  • Cash-free payment is strongly recommended and encouraged. Vendor partners are strongly encouraged to make best efforts to minimize contact in ordering and payment, shifting to mobile or pre-ordering if possible.
  • If a card is used, it must be disinfected after handling
  • Mobile, contactless, or pre-orders is the preferred method
  • Sneeze barrier between customers and staff
  • Disinfectant wipes/sanitize must be provided at touchpoints (drink counter, utensil dispenser, etc)

 

All food truck patrons and guests, please practice safety protocols as well:

Where can I get information about accessibility at Grand Park?

Grand Park follows all ADA standards for accessibility. Visitors can call 213-972-8080 for more information.

Is Grand Park a safe and secure environment for me and my family?

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.

How are event proposals evaluated?

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 dates 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.

What do I do if my event is not approved?

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. 

What is the park’s guest capacity?
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 Marshall.
How much does it cost to do an event at Grand Park?

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.

What elements should I plan to budget for?

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.

What are the park rules?

Grand Park is governed by the County of Los Angeles and follows all laws and regulations set forth by the County.  The following are PROHIBITED by Los Angeles County Park Code Number 17.04 and/or the County Chief Executive Officer:
