Three-time WNBA Champion Los Angeles Sparks announced plans to build a $150-million training and practice facility in El Segundo. Scheduled to open in 2027, the 55,000-square-foot headquarters facility in Continental Park will be purpose-built in partnership with Gensler and Transwestern. El Segundo will then be home to the facilities of five professional sports teams: football, hockey, men’s basketball, rugby and women’s basketball.
“I am excited by the Los Angeles Sparks’ decision to build their new headquarters and training facility in Continental Park on the Rosecrans Corridor,” said Continental Development Corporation CEO Richard Lundquist. “In three years, we’ve attracted the Los Angeles Chargers and the Sparks to El Segundo, proving this small city has tremendous appeal.”
The new home for Sparks basketball is reportedly a first-of-its-kind investment in women’s sports. It will take advantage of the city’s climate and views of the Pacific Ocean and nearby mountains with an outdoor spa space and extensive use of natural light.
