The Hollywood Bowl is an outdoor concert amphitheater, seating 18,000 people on grounds totaling 110 acres. Hollywood's Theatre Arts Alliance purchased the land in 1919 to create a park and arts center. Permanent seating was installed on the graded hillside in 1926. Since then the Bowl has grown from a community arts center to a world-famous performance site.
The Hollywood Bowl is the summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, shown performing here in 1994.
This vista point was constructed by the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy in cooperation with the National Park Service, City of Los Angeles, and the Mulholland Scenic Parkway Design Review.
Erected by Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
