Inglewood is a city in southwest Los Angeles County, just east of Los Angeles International Airport and a few miles from the beaches. The land was once part of Rancho Aguaje de la Centinela, and the Centinela Adobe from the 1830s still stands as a reminder of the rancho days. The town was founded in 1888 during a Southern California land boom and incorporated in 1908.
Inglewood has long been a home of sports and entertainment. The Forum hosted the Lakers and Kings for decades and remains a famous concert arena, and the former Hollywood Park racetrack is now the site of SoFi Stadium, home of the Rams and Chargers, along with the new Intuit Dome. These venues have brought Super Bowls to the city, and they are set to host events of the 2028 Olympic Games.
The city is also known for Randy's Donuts and its giant rooftop donut, a strong Black community and culture, historic Market Street downtown, and green spaces such as Edward Vincent Jr. Park.
The home of the NFL's Los Angeles Rams and Chargers, opened in 2020 under a huge translucent roof, with a giant double-sided video board. It hosts concerts, college football and major events such as the Super Bowl. Book parking or rideshare in advance, as traffic is heavy on event days.
The arena of the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers, opened in 2024 with a steep fan wall called The Wall, a ring-shaped video display and many food stands. It also hosts concerts and other events. Entry is fully cashless and mobile, so have your tickets and payment on your phone before arriving.
A round 1967 arena once home to the Lakers and Kings, now a major concert venue. Its colonnaded exterior is a well-known landmark, and the renovated interior has good sightlines for music acts. Check the bag policy before you go, and use nearby event parking lots or the Metro K Line to reduce traffic.
A large new district on the site of the former Hollywood Park racetrack, surrounding SoFi Stadium. It includes a lake park, walking paths, restaurants and the YouTube Theater. It is pleasant to stroll on non-event days, when parking is easier and the open spaces are calm.
A 6,000-seat indoor venue at Hollywood Park, next to SoFi Stadium, opened in 2021. It hosts concerts, comedy shows, award events and esports. The smaller size gives good views from most seats. Check event times and parking information, which is shared with the stadium district.
A 24-hour donut stand known for the giant donut on its roof, built in 1953 and seen in many films and TV shows. It is a drive-through and walk-up spot with classic glazed, cake and filled donuts. Late night or early morning visits often have shorter lines, and the roof makes a great photo.
An adobe house built around 1834, the oldest building in Inglewood, set on a hill with gardens. The Historical Society of Centinela Valley runs tours of the furnished rooms, plus a small research library and the Rancho office. It opens only on limited days, so check the schedule before visiting.
A historic cemetery founded in 1905, the resting place of many well-known people including Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles and Etta James. Its grounds include mausoleums, a chapel and mature trees. Visitors may walk respectfully; ask at the office for help locating notable graves.
A 1949 Streamline Moderne movie palace on Market Street with a tall neon sign and curved facade. It has been closed for years, but the exterior is a striking piece of mid-century design. View it from the sidewalk as part of a Market Street walk.
Inglewood's historic downtown shopping street, with older storefronts, local eateries, barbershops and small businesses near the Metro K Line Downtown Inglewood station. It hosts community events and art projects. Ride the K Line to get there and walk around to see the Fox Theatre and nearby murals.
Inglewood's largest park, formerly Centinela Park, with a lake, playgrounds, sports fields, picnic areas and a pool. It sits next to the Centinela Adobe and has natural springs that gave the area its early name. It is busy with families on weekends, so arrive early for picnic tables.
