About Westwood

Westwood is anchored by UCLA, whose campus, sculpture garden and the free Hammer Museum make it one of the Westside's best neighborhoods for free culture. The Murphy Sculpture Garden and the campus grounds are open to wander at no cost.

Westwood Village adds a historic walkable core, and pocket parks like Holmby Park and outdoor fitness areas round out a neighborhood rich in free things to do.
