Arcadia is proud to welcome back the Olympic equestrian events to the historic Santa Anita Park. Arcadia buzzed with excitement when Santa Anita Park hosted the equestrian events of the 1984 Summer Olympics. Now, more than 40 years later, Arcadia is once again ready, and even better positioned, to welcome the world. With convenient access to the Metro light rail and the Arcadia Transit shuttle service, transportation will remain accessible to all. Aradia has also ushered its next era of tourism, with the addition of the Hilton Hotel, followed by the groundbreaking of Hotel Tempo. These additions join the acclaimed Le Méridien, a four-star hotel known for luxurious accommodations and breathtaking mountain views, all just steps from Santa Anita Park.

In Arcadia, equestrian culture has been deeply woven into the community’s identity since Santa Anita Park first opened in 1934. Located in Los Angeles County, Santa Anita Park has long been an ideal venue for LA28, as it’s perfectly positioned to complement the activities taking place throughout the broader region.  

As the Olympic spotlight returns, so does the opportunity for tremendous economic growth. This global event is expected to bring an influx of spending to Arcadia’s hotels, restaurants, shops and attractions, benefiting local businesses and fueling long-term prosperity for the entire community.
