Mariposa station is an elevated light rail stop on the K Line within the Los Angeles Metro Rail network. Situated above Mariposa Avenue close to Nash Street in El Segundo, California, it originally commenced operations alongside the Green Line on August 12, 1995. Following a service realignment in November 2024, the station has been incorporated into the K Line route.
Initially designated as Mariposa Ave/Nash St, the station was rebranded as Mariposa in 2003.
This station provides access to prominent athletic venues such as the Toyota Sports Performance Center, which serves as the training location for the Los Angeles Kings and Ontario Reign, the UCLA Health Training Center, home to the Los Angeles Lakers practice sessions and the South Bay Lakers, as well as the Campus El Segundo Athletic Fields.
Currently, the platform supports two-car train configurations; however, plans are underway to extend it by 2028 to accommodate three-car trains, enhancing passenger capacity and operational efficiency.
