Behavioral Expectations
Visitors must be mindful of their own personal belongings. We cannot be responsible for lost or stolen items. We treat the ELC with care and appreciation, and expect the same from our visitors. In the event damage occurs to the ELC facility, exhibits, and/or landscaping, LA Sanitation may hold the visitor and/or their organization responsible for repair and/or replacement costs. You can view our list of Behavioral Expectations here.

Directions and Parking
The ELC is located at 12000 Vista Del Mar, Playa Del Rey 90293, across the street from Dockweiler State Beach, approximately one half mile south of Imperial Highway. Visitors will check in at GATE C at Hyperion Way off of Vista Del Mar.

Parking for all vehicles, including buses, is FREE, adjacent to the Environmental Learning Center. Because parking is limited, we recommend carpools and/or buses for groups.
