LA County Arboretum

Seating

All seating at the Arboretum is accessible.  Guests can either use their own wheelchair or transfer into a chair. The POPS does not provide wheelchairs. Chairs are provided in the table seating area (Conductor’s Circle and Sections A, B, C and D).  Chairs are not provided in the general admission lawn area. There are paved paths to all seating areas and we offer golf cart service from the Main Gate to the seating areas. The seating area is on grass and is accessible by wheelchairs.  The entrance and restrooms are located on the east side of the venue (left side as you face the stage), so guests with limited mobility may wish to choose seating on the left side of the venue.

For lawn guests viewing the concert in wheelchairs or other mobility assistance devices, we recommend stationing near the northwest corner of the light tower on the fountain due to the uneven surfaces of the Arboretum grounds.

Parking & Drop Off

All guests can use our drop-off zone to drop off passengers and food items. Ride Share (Uber, Lyft), Access and drop off vehicles are welcome to drop off passengers and food items prior to the concert inside the main parking lot, located at Arboretum Way. Please inform parking staff that you are using the Drop Off.
