Furthermore, the 55,000-square-foot practice facility will feature a plethora of record-breaking amenities — including the WNBA’s first-ever indoor-outdoor player sanctuary, with an outdoor spa pool, dedicated nap rooms and flexible wellness spaces.
The state-of-the-art facility will also hold two regulation basketball courts, as well as hydrotherapy suites, a circular locker room and weight room highlighted by use of natural light.
According to the Sparks, Transwestern’s Sports & Entertainment Group is the El Segundo project’s development manager and owner representative.
“We’re building a place where Sparks players can be at their best on and off the court,” Sparks’ Managing Partner and Governor Eric Holoman said in a statement. “From cutting-edge training and recovery spaces to family and community areas, every corner of this facility was designed with them at the center. It reflects our commitment to our team, our fans, and the city of Los Angeles, and sets a new standard for what a professional sports organization can provide for its athletes.”
