Vet’s Park
The Vet’s Park Neighborhood
Vet’s Park gets its name, and much of its character, from Veterans Memorial Park, at the corner of Overland and Culver. The neighborhood runs south to Ballona Creek and west to Sepulveda Blvd., with Culver Blvd. along the north edge and Overland Ave. along the east. Veterans Memorial Park is the official name, but residents warmly refer to it as Vet’s Park.
The park’s Veterans Memorial Building, known locally as “Basketorium,” hosts city meetings, performances, and cultural celebrations. Every summer, the park also hosts Fiesta La Ballona, a festival that began as a weeklong celebration of local heritage. The rest of Vet’s Park is quiet, tree-lined streets, with the park, schools, and civic buildings close enough to walk to.
How Walkable Is Vet’s Park?
A home on Greenlawn Ave. in Vet’s Park receives a Walk Score of 73, “Very Walkable.” You can do most daily activities on foot: school drop-offs, a stroll through the park, or a quick run to the local shops. The same address scores 84 for biking, rated “Very Bikeable,” so you can enjoy a bike ride instead.
Scores can vary by address, so check the one for the home you’re considering.
What Schools Are Near Vet’s Park?
Vet’s Park is served by the Culver City Unified School District (CCUSD). Three public schools sit next to each other along Elenda St. and Farragut Dr. on the south end of the neighborhood: Farragut Elementary School, Culver City Middle School, and Culver City High School.
Each is about half a mile from Veterans Memorial Park, so a walk to school is realistic for many homes. Attendance zones are set by address, so confirm with CCUSD which school serves a specific home.
