Driving Directions
Where to park
Gateway Plaza is a covered multi-story parking garage located at 300 N Lake Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101, which is within a walking distance just across the 210 Freeway from the church. The parking structure is made available on Sunday morning services and special large events. On Sundays parking is available from 7:00 AM until 2:00 PM. Gates close at 2 pm. After 2:00 PM contact Gateway Plaza Security at 626.568.1916 to exit the structure. Please note that additional charges may be imposed by the parking company for cars that remain in the parking structure beyond the church's agreement.
A shuttle service is provided on Sunday Services from the parking structure to the main entrance drop-off on Maple Way and vice versa. Shuttle service is available in each direction every 5 - 7 minutes from 7:30 AM until 1:00 PM.
For most events and services, the lot is reserved for guests, the elderly or physically-challenged individuals and parents with small children. We encourage everyone to use the Gateway Parking when possible.
LAC Underground Parking
Our underground parking offers limited space for handicapped and elderly LAC Family members. Those with a California-state-issued Handicapped Permit or church-issued Underground Parking Pass will be allowed entry.
If you are elderly and require an underground parking pass, please contact Marian Coleman in Campus Services at or call 626.817.4818.
Friendly Reminder
Please do not park on the streets surrounding the church
Street parking is reserved for residents, their guests, and patrons of the local businesses. Remember, when we take away parking designated for their customers, guests, and family, it gives a negative impression of Lake Avenue Church and Christians in general. Also, the Pasadena Police Department is actively ticketing those who illegally park in these designated areas.
