About Wooden Center
The Wooden Center at UCLA is a versatile university recreation and event facility housing spaces like Collins Court, Pardee Gym, and Blue Room. Located at 221 Westwood Plaza in Los Angeles, this campus hub hosts open recreation, intramural and club sports, and campus events. Renovations have temporarily limited some capacities, but the space remains a reliable venue for organized activity and community gatherings. We’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit access, and nearby hotel and dining options to help you secure your seats and plan with ease.
Proximity to Westwood Village makes it easy to find food and lodging after events. For visitors driving in, Underground Parking Structure 4 beneath the center offers about 440 spaces, with convenient access to Collins Court and adjacent facilities. As Los Angeles expands transit options, the upcoming Westwood/UCLA station on the Metro Purple Line will improve access to UCLA and Westwood Village, making a trip to Wooden Center smoother in the future. When planning an event, consider the current capacities, especially during renovation periods when some spaces may be restricted to under 500 attendees for certain activities.
