Going to the 2028 Olympics? You’ll probably be going to Galway Downs

All equestrian sports for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and Paralympics are being proposed for Galway Downs in Temecula, between Los Angeles and San Diego, according to a statement from LA 28.

Although these disciplines originally were going to be held at a purpose-built site at the Sepulveda Dam Recreation Area, the Temecula property is “the only such facility in Southern California large enough to accommodate all required disciplines in one location.”

The International  Olympic Committees requires that all the equestrian sports be held in the same place. The fact that it is an existing equestrian facility will cut costs in terms of what needs to be provided for the sports.

To make it official, the City of Los Angeles must first approve competitions that move outside of the city’s boundaries from the venue plan submitted during the bid.
