Opened March 5, 2000
Toyota Sports Performance Center broke ground on April 28, 1999 and officially opened on March 5, 2000, a $24 million, 135,000-square-foot building designed by architect Jon Drezner. The Anschutz Entertainment Group owns it, Toyota sponsors it and American Skating Entertainment Centers operates it.
Inside are three public ice rinks, NHL size, Olympic size and a smaller sheet that started life as an inline and roller rink and was converted to ice in September 2011, along with locker rooms and offices for the Kings and Lakers. The Los Angeles Jr. Kings have been based here since the building opened, and their program has grown through that time. The rink has also been a training center for elite figure skaters under head coach Frank Carroll; Michelle Kwan, Timothy Goebel, Evan Lysacek, Beatrisa Liang, Gracie Gold and Mirai Nagasu have all trained here. About one million guests pass through the doors each year.
The Los Angeles D-Fenders of the NBA Development League played their home games here from 2011–12 through 2016–17, and the Lakers moved their practices two blocks away to the UCLA Health Training Center starting with the 2017–18 season. In 2019 the Ontario Reign brought their practices here, making it a fully operational Los Angeles Kings facility.
