We always encourage rideshare as our parking is limited. Parking information will be sent out with the ticket information. If the TreePeople lot is full, there is limited parking in the neighborhood surrounding. Please do not block any driveways or park in non-designated spots in Franklin Canyon Park. Please note Franklin Canyon Park closes at sundown. Additional parking can be found at Wilacre Park on Laurel Canyon Blvd., which will require an approximately 35 minute hike up to TreePeople Headquarters.

Our Parking Grove is located at Coldwater Canyon Avenue and Mulholland Drive, just a few minutes above Studio City. Look for the green TreePeople sign at the entrance, opposite the stoplight, on the east side of that intersection.

TreePeople is not responsible for personal belongings left in vehicles; please do not leave important items out in full view of your vehicle.

Comfortable, flat-soled shoes are recommended. If you need vehicle access, please let us know in advance and plan to arrive no later than 30 minutes before the performance to avoid any delay in getting to your seats.

Principal access to the amphitheatre is via hillside stairways and mulched trails.

Please check your email to know where the event is taking place and view our map below for orientation.

Your reservations guarantee you seating in either our main bleachers, directly opposite the stage, or in folding chairs around the stage and on the trail overlooking the venue. The specific location of your seats is based on a first-come, first-served basis. The venue typically opens one hour before show time.

All tickets are nonrefundable, so don’t forget to mark your calendars!

Reservations made by credit card are available online or at the door. Depending on the event, tickets may be available at the box office. Admission prices vary depending on the show. Please check individual event listings for more information. We do not accept cash payments.

We provide simple foam pads for your comfort to place on the bleachers. You're welcome to bring your own. As evening comes, it usually cools down so you might want to have a sweater, light jacket, or lap blanket to keep warm. Blankets are occasionally on sale on-site.

There are a number of sites throughout our 45-acre park that are great for picnicking at any hour, some with wonderful views of the San Fernando Valley. You may picnic in the amphitheatre itself. The venue typically opens one hour before the show for early picnickers. Please avoid excess packaging and use the recycling and trash bins located near the box office and throughout the park.

Bathrooms are located on the same level as the main parking lot between the nursery and the conference center, two levels up from the amphitheatre.

Coldwater Canyon Park was built nearly 100 years ago, and persons with ADA requirements will most likely need special accommodations to access our amphitheatre events. Please reach out to events@treepeople.org with any questions or requests, and we will try to accommodate your needs.

The S. Mark Taper Foundation Amphitheatre was built in 1997 with the support of many generous donors including Steve Martin, Bonnie Raitt, Ron Howard, and Johnny Carson. The Actors Conservatory Ensemble (ACE), a volunteer theater company run by TreePeople Director of Park Operations Jim Hardie, co-presented many concerts, play readings, comedy nights and family shows in the venue 1998-2023 under the banner of “Once Upon a Canyon Night.” TreePeople thanks ACE for their decades of dedication to the space and organization–bringing thousands of people together to enjoy programming and the park.

The amphitheatre underwent a renovation funded by the S. Mark Taper Foundation from 2020-2022 in order to upgrade the space with permanent state of the art lighting, sound, and improved seating. TreePeople reopened the amphitheatre with a benefit concert to commemorate the organization’s 50th anniversary with performances by Beck, Van Dyke Parks, Courtney Barnett, and more.
