The LA28 Paralympic Games venue plan represents a thoughtful approach to hosting the world’s third-largest sporting event while prioritizing accessibility, athlete experience, and urban integration. By utilizing existing world-class facilities across Los Angeles’ diverse neighborhoods — from Downtown’s Convention Center to Venice Beach and Long Beach’s coastal venues — the organizers have created a compact 35-mile radius competition footprint that minimizes athlete transit times while showcasing the city’s geographic and cultural variety.

The strategic clustering of sports creates dynamic multi-discipline hubs, such as the Downtown Convention Center, which will host five Paralympic sports simultaneously to generate a festival atmosphere, while specialized venues like the acoustically optimized Peacock Theater for goalball demonstrate tailored considerations for specific athletic needs. The LA28 Paralympic Games venue plan notably returns to a unified Paralympic Village at UCLA after twelve years, as well.
