The Toyota Sports Center (formerly the HealthSouth Training Center) is a practice facility for the Los Angeles Kings, Los Angeles Sparks, and the Los Angeles Lakers, located on 555 North Nash Street in El Segundo, California. The $24 million, 135,000-square-foot (12,500 m2) facility broke ground on April 28, 1999 and officially opened on March 5, 2000 as the HealthSouth Training Center.
