Downtown Inglewood station is an at-grade light rail station on the K Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is located alongside Florence Avenue between Market and Locust Streets in the central business district of the city of Inglewood, California.
The station opened on October 7, 2022.[1] Metro held a ceremonial ribbon cutting ceremony for the station on September 10, 2022.[3]
The station incorporates artwork by the artist Kenturah Davis.[4]
During the 2028 Summer Olympics, the station will serve spectators traveling to and from venues located in Inglewood including opening and closing ceremonies, soccer games, and archery at SoFi Stadium, gymnastics at the Kia Forum and basketball at Intuit Dome.[5]
The station is served by the SoFi Stadium Shuttle on football game days and for other major events including some concerts. Buses typically leave every 5-8 minutes to transport fans to the stadium. To speed service, fares are not collected onboard the shuttle, but valid Metro fare is still required onboard trains.
