Ontario plans Arena District expansion and new regional sports complex
Summary
City officials described an Arena District expansion with 700 luxury apartments and a new Ontario Regional Sports Complex—including a minor-league baseball stadium—projected to create jobs and attract over a million annual visitors.
City speakers outlined major entertainment and sports projects near Toyota Arena that are intended to expand downtown activity and regional visitation.
The planned Arena District expansion, described by speakers, includes 700 luxury apartments, a pedestrian plaza and future phases that may add a performance arts center and hotel. Separately, the Ontario Regional Sports Complex south of the 60 Freeway is planned as a nearly 200-acre facility with a minor-league baseball stadium, village, training fields and an aquatic center. Speakers projected the sports complex would attract roughly 1.2 million visitors annually and create about 610 jobs.
City presentations linked the projects to a broader economic strategy: expand visitor options, boost hotel and convention capacity, and capture entertainment spending locally. A completion date of April 2026 was cited for initial sports-complex openings for some components; developers and city officials framed the facilities as regional economic catalysts.
