Home of the L. A. County Fair, Fairplex is a 543-acre multi-use venue in northwest Pomona. Best known for
its annual fair, Fairplex also hosts more than 300
major events year round. Its governing body, the Los Angeles County Fair Association,
is exploring new ways to expand
events and
activities on the site and
make it more
accessible
to the community.
Fairplex currently offers:
247-suite Sheraton Suites Fairplex hotel
Child Development Center at Fairplex
Millard Sheets Center for the Arts at Fairplex
Fairplex KOA/RV Park
Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum
Auto Club Raceway at Pomona
Barretts Equine Ltd.
325,000 square feet of indoor exhibit space
Approximately 250 acres of paved parking for 37,500 vehicles
Twelve acres of carnival grounds
The first priority under the Fairplex 2007 Strategic Business & Investment Plan, a road map for the facility’s future, is the proposed Trade and Conference Center
that will boost its visibility as an international and regional conference and
retreat destination.
An in-depth study by Los Angeles-based Economic Research Associates
predicts that construction of the TCC will generate an economic
output of $17.7 million for the City of Pomona. The TCC,
complemented by the on-site Sheraton Suites Fairplex hotel,
will be a valuable addition to the Fairplex campus. It also
will enhance the image of Pomona and the Inland
Valley, increasing market share in the promising
meeting and conference center industry.
FAIRPLEX
Fairplex developed The Land Use Improvement Plan as a guide in evaluating
potential opportunities and development scenarios. One of the scenarios
identifies the 88-acre parcel of land north of White Ave. as a site for
projects at Fairplex.
