Best Beach Volleyball Court Downey Near Me

4worldlovers:
Mapes Beach serves as home to the UCLA beach volleyball team. The facility underwent a renovation prior to the 2020 season and now features three regulation sized beach volleyball courts and one warm-up court. The expanded site affords the Beach Volleyball team ample space to train and compete, and offers a picturesque setting for student-athletes and spectators alike.

The facility is named after former UCLA tennis student-athlete John Mapes (BA 1990) and his wife Carrie (BA 1990, Med 1991), who made a generous donation totaling $1,000,000.

As part of the renovation, the courts have been realigned for a more efficient and aesthetic look with three of the courts being used for competition with the fourth serving as a warm-up court. State-of-the-art netting has been installed on two sides with concrete platforms and metal railings used on the other two sides. Beneficiaries of Mapes Beach, in addition to the UCLA beach volleyball team, include UCLA students participating in club, intramural and open recreation programs.
