Hollywood Bowl patrons who hate bucking the notorious traffic to and from the bowl’s parking lot won’t be able to go to the zoo this summer to avoid the zoo-like crush of cars.
Instead of the usual four shuttle lots where people can park and catch a $4 round-trip ride to the bowl, there will be just three. The freeway-friendly one at the Los Angeles Zoo in Griffith Park will be out of commission due to construction to improve drainage, reports the Los Angeles Philharmonic, which operates the Hollywood Bowl.
Two free lots along Ventura Boulevard near Lankershim Boulevard will be operating, and bowl-goers also can catch a bowl shuttle at the Hollywood & Highland center, although they’ll have to pay to park in its garage.
Unchanged are the farther-flung park-and-ride lots around L.A. County, where concert-goers can park for free and catch a bus to the bowl for an $8 round-trip. There are 14 park-and-rides for the L.A. Phil’s presentations, and six for rock concerts and other non-Phil events.
