Mariposa is close to several sports venues: the Toyota Sports Center, the practice facility for the Los Angeles Kings and Ontario Reign hockey teams, the UCLA Health Training Center, the practice facility for the Los Angeles Lakers and the venue for the South Bay Lakers, and the Campus El Segundo Athletic Fields, two recreational grass fields.
