THE BOWL WALK Developed as part of the renovations in the 2004 Hollywood Bowl Shell Project, The Bowl Walk is a 10-station exhibit around the grounds of the Hollywood Bowl, a County Park, which beckons visitors to view the venue outside and around the theater. The exhibit features visual displays throughout the park, presenting information on the cultural events, history and architecture of the legendary natural amphitheater. The Walk begins at the entrance of the Bowl (on Peppertree Lane) and concludes inside the theater on the Fourth Promenade at the top of the hill.

A map of the Bowl Walk can be found at the Hollywood Bowl Museum or http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/visit/hollywood-bowl-museum/bowl-walk

Ten photographic displays along the pedestrian walkways guide visitors through the park: The Muse of Music, Peppertree Lane, Pop & Rock at the Hollywood Bowl, Great Performances, The Shell, The Amphitheater, The Treasure, Flora & Fauna of the Hollywood Bowl, Picnics & Fireworks, and The View from the Fourth Prom. An accessible sign fixed in the plaza area, near the Box Office and The Bowl Store, includes Walk information for patrons with disabilities. The exhibit design is by Hodgetts+Fung. The Bowl Walk was generously funded by California State Parks Bond Act of 2000 through the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation.
