<P> The opening beach scene was shot at Malibu 's Leo Carrillo State Beach , making explicit reference to From Here to Eternity . The exterior Rydell scenes , including the basketball , baseball and track segments , were shot at Venice High School in Venice , California , while the Rydell interiors , including the high school dance , were filmed at Huntington Park High School . The sleepover was shot at a private house in East Hollywood . The Paramount Pictures studio lot was the location of the scenes that involve Frosty Palace and the musical numbers `` Greased Lightning '' and `` Beauty School Dropout '' . The drive - in movie scenes were shot at the Burbank Pickwick Drive - In ( it was closed and torn down in 1989 and a shopping center took its place ) . The race was filmed at the Los Angeles River , between the First and Seventh Street Bridges , where many other films have been shot . The final scene where the carnival took place used John Marshall High School . And due to budget cuts a short scene was filmed at Hazard Park in Los Angeles . </P>
