Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center - Chula Vista, California

This review is only for the high school beach volleyball area. They have enough courts available to host about 4 schools at one time. I would recommend bringing your own chair. They do have a set of metal bleachers on the bluff above the courts, but they are placed far off to the right side only giving a good view of some of the courts. The sand could use a bit of leveling. There are two portable bathrooms down by the players’ area. There is ample parking right next to the sand area, but we are not allowed to park there. Spectators must park at the top near the main entrance and hike down. There is a slight hill you need to walk up on the return. There is one water fountain available, but no food or vending machines nearby.

Pros: handicap accesible, amazing views, accommodates many games at one time
Cons: parking, no shade for spectators unless you sit down on the players’ bleachers, no food/drinks for sale

There is a gift shop with Olympic merchandise and the highlight of the visit was the tour. There are several different possibilities for the tour, went on a guided tour that included a cart as well as lunch in the dining hall. There are year round athletes training here for both Olympics and para Olympics. There are multiple sports that train here and with guided tour you will get to see the training facilities including the weight room, which was impressive. There were athletes training there so didn’t get to take a picture inside. Would recommend the tour both for the sports and the views.

Took the family for a self-guided tour. We saw some of the athletes going to Paris as they were making final preparations. You can also get a guided tour for some extra money and eat what the athletes eat at the cafeteria.

Thank you Stephanie Inskeep for the informative, serene, fun, friendly, and inspiring Gold Tour of the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center for Olympic and Paralympic athletes. As a business owner, San Diego resident, and a former athlete, I wanted to add a review to bring awareness and encourage others to support this special site. Thank you!

Great infrastructure. You can found bicycross ramps and , archery, rugby fields, lakes, er . You also can be part of the tours ( ask the administration for the prices, they are super friendly and kind ).

And if your are looking for a venue for your event, they can host almost any type or size, bootcamps, fundraisers and they even host weddings and quinceañeras.

They have a big parking lot for visitors , and a extra spots to leave your car.
In some cases or special events you have to pay for it ( $ 10 minimum).

If you assist to the open areas don't forget to bring water, snacks, a cap and solar protection.

And remember respect the environment don't disturb the native flora and fauna 🦎🐍🐇🐁🐀🦅🐝🐞🦋🕷️ ( if you meet some athlete you can ask for a photo, they don't bite, just be sure of don't interrupt their training and ask properly for it 🤝). Because they are part of the charm of the place. Stay tuned for the signs .
