Mariposa station is an elevated light rail station on the C Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is located over Mariposa Avenue, after which the station is named, alongside Nash Street in El Segundo, California. It opened with the commencement of Green Line service on August 12, 1995. [2]
The station was initially named Mariposa Ave/Nash St but was later simplified to Mariposa in 2003. [3] [4]
Under current Metro plans, the C and K Lines will be restructured by the end of 2024; Mariposa station will be served by the K Line, while the C Line will be rerouted to terminate at the future LAX/Metro Transit Center station. [5]
Mariposa is close to several sports venues: the Toyota Sports Performance 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.
The train platform, currently suitable for two-car trains, is planned to be lengthened by 2028 to accommodate longer three-car trains. [6] [7]
