Outdoor Amphitheater that seats ~40. We strongly recommend reserving this space so that it is not already in use when you try to visit. It is reservable for free for UCLA course time, and includes a hidden whiteboard that can be set up for you.

The UCLA Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden acknowledges the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Los Angeles basin and So. Channel Islands). As a promoter of nature at a California land grant institution, we pay our respects to the Honuukvetam (Ancestors), ‘Ahiihirom (Elders) and ‘Eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.
