LA 2024 today released new renderings of its Valley Sports Park on the third stop of its virtual venue tour. LA 2024's Valley Sports Park in the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area would bring the Games to the Valley for the first time and reflects the bid committee's commitment to including the greatest number of Angelenos in 2024. Home to 40 percent of the City of Los Angeles' population, the Valley’s role in 2024 would signify a new Olympic and Paralympic legacy for nearly two million Angelenos.

The Valley Sports Park is made of temporary facilities set against the stunning sports backdrop of the Santa Monica Mountains. Temporary sites like these combined with existing venues comprise LA 2024’s low-risk offering to enhance the Olympic Movement’s credibility and inspire future bidding cities.
LA 2024’s city-wide Sports Park innovation enhances the traditional concept of a singular "Olympic Park" by offering four unique Parks in Downtown Los Angeles, the South Bay, the Valley, and Long Beach. The Sports Park concept ensures athletes, officials and fans from around the world will be able to enjoy LA’s diverse geographies and cultures, and allow as many Angelenos as possible to experience the Games on their doorstep.
Like all of LA 2024’s Sports Parks, the Valley Sports Park is connected to LA’s growing public transit system and lies within a single, integrated secure perimeter where all attendees will be able to walk easily from one venue to another in a safe, festival atmosphere. Each of LA 2024's Sports Parks will include dining, music, sponsor activations, sports showcases and celebration Live Sites for event and non-event ticket holders to enjoy. LA 2024's dynamic ticketing model – connecting nearby fans with available tickets in real time – will ensure every athlete in every sport competes in front of full stadiums with passionate, engaged supporters.
LA 2024 Chairman Casey Wasserman said: "We are thrilled to bring the Games to the Valley for the first time, paving the way for a new Olympic and Paralympic legacy for nearly two million Angelenos. LA is the right choice for 2024 because our city can host the Games without having to build any new permanent venues or an Olympic and Paralympic Village. These virtual tours of our world-class venues demonstrate that LA 2024 is prepared to offer the lowest-risk and sustainable solution for the future of the Olympic Movement and an unforgettable Olympic festival experience for everyone in 2024."
