About The Park

Dr. Paul Carlson Memorial Park is an idyllic setting where Culver City Public Theatre is based and where our summer season is staged. Patrons are invited to bring blankets, lawn chairs, picnic lunches or whatever makes you comfortable. Informal seating is available (both in the shade and in sunlight) on a first-come, first-served basis. The Public also has a small concessions stand that offers beverages and light snacks.

The park, located at located at the corner of Motor Avenue and Braddock Drive, also has public restrooms, park benches and lovely walking trails. The vibrant green foliage is lovely and the park is surrounded by a very pleasant, quiet neighborhood community with ample street parking in the area.
