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.

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. 

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 Gloria Molina Grand Park.
