Parking Structure 4 (P4) is closest to CAPS. Enter from Sunset Blvd. onto Westwood Plaza which leads directly to the underground parking structure. Stop by the parking info booth to purchase a parking permit.

To find CAPS: If you exit the parking structure by the soccer and intramural fields walk towards the fields, down a couple steps and take a left. The entrance to CAPS is the last set of doors before Bruin Walk. If you exit by the Wooden Center gym (i.e. you emerge from the parking structure and see the Bruin Bear to your left), turn right out of the doors and make another right onto Bruin Walk. The entrance to CAPS is directly across from the soccer and intramural fields.
