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.
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 Gloria Molina 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 Marshall.
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 Gloria Molina Grand Park personnel such as staff, security, maintenance, etc. This estimate will be sent after the event has been approved to occur in Gloria Molina Grand Park.
We encourage communitymembers to use the park for all their gatherings as long as they follow all park rules that are enforced by our Security team.
These include:
No amplified sound including loud instruments
No outside furniture or tents (park furniture can be moved around the park for group use if available)
No exclusive use of any area that is a shared space, including the stages, lawns, playground, splashpad or dog run or any amenities within the park for the benefitof your group(s)
No Professional grade photo and video equipment, including but not limited to: tripods, drones, microphones, cameras, lights, reflectors, etc.
Do not block any walkways or ADA ramps while in the park
