Parking at The Nimoy:

The entrance to the parking lot is on Glendon Avenue, directly to the left (north) of the Los Angeles Public Library, Westwood Branch. The actual address for GPS is 10866 Wilshire Blvd. As you exit the parking structure, it is just a short walk to the venue along Wilshire Blvd or Wellworth Avenue. 

Enter through either of the two marked VISITOR entrances. Upon arrival, take a ticket from the automated booth, enter and park anywhere in the structure that is not marked RESERVED. Parking for all CAP UCLA shows begins 1 hour before the lobby opens. Entering before this will incur the $30 day parking fee.

Patrons have the option to pay their ticket at the pay station as they are exiting the lot or pay at the exit gate, however you are encouraged to pay as exiting the structure to save time after the performance.

*Please Note: Surface lot immediately behind The Nimoy is not open on evenings and weekends and is not operated by UCLA. Be advised that we can’t be responsible for any cars that may be towed or ticketed outside of the lot designated for The Nimoy.
