Hollywood Park turned racetrack land into Inglewood's event district
Hollywood Park shows Inglewood's recent change from racetrack land into a large sports, entertainment, housing, park, office, and retail district.
Inglewood’s Hollywood Park story is a huge land change. The old racetrack and casino property sat near Prairie Avenue and Century Boulevard.
The redevelopment plan was mixed-use from the start. It included housing, shops, offices, hotel space, parks, and recreation. Today the name Hollywood Park also points people toward SoFi Stadium, YouTube Theater, public parks, homes, shops, restaurants, and event crowds.
That is a lot for one neighborhood to carry, so the simple story helps. This was racetrack land first. Now it is a planned district where sports, entertainment, housing, and public spaces sit together.
If you are visiting, check the event calendar and parking details. If you are trying to understand Inglewood, Hollywood Park explains why the city feels like it has changed so quickly.
Where to see it
Hollywood Park area around Prairie Avenue, Century Boulevard, SoFi Stadium, and YouTube Theater. Check event schedules before visiting.
