Going to the Olympics?
Since organizers of the 2028 Olympics announced a slate of additional venues in April, they’ve added more venues and changed others. Organizers also have announced the venues for the Paralympics.
What Olympics venues have changed?
For one, diving has been moved to Pasadena from Exposition Park after LA28 organizers raised concerns about the Exposition Park pool not being wide or deep enough.
Venues also have been announced for mountain biking and shooting:
- Mountain biking will be hosted at a course in the City of Industry, though it’s unclear where the exact location will be. Organizers say it’ll be a course “[built] into a hilltop in the San Gabriel Valley.”
- Shooting (shotgun) will take place at the Whittier Narrows Clay Shooting Center.
Here's the full list:

The Paralympic venues include:
- Para swimming will be hosted at the Long Beach Convention Center.
- Para archery will be played at the training grounds for the LA Galaxy in Carson.
- Para equestrian can be watched at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia.
- Wheelchair rugby will be played at the USC Galen Center.
LA28 has yet to announce locations for three events, including the start and end points for para cyling (road) and the marathon.
Here's the full list:

How to get around
LA28 organizers say these will be “transit-first Games” and attendees will be encouraged to take public transportation to get to the venues.
The key transit projects to make that easier still are underway. LAX’s people mover train, which will help millions who arrive through LAX, could welcome passengers as soon as this January. It’ll connect to the LAX/Metro Transit Center, which opened earlier this year.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
