General Information
The Facility & Area
Nestled just a few miles inland from the quaint Southern California town of San Juan Capistrano, sits the Rancho Mission Viejo Riding Park at San Juan Capistrano where Blenheim Facility Management offers a premier year round sun-kissed, sea-breezed property for equestrian sports, soccer competitions and a variety of other special occasions. The 40-acre facility can accommodate events of varying sizes; featuring a sprawling 500′ by 900′, beautifully manicured grass field, a 200’ by 300’ indoor arena and seven additional competition rings for equestrian events. In addition to horse sports, the grass outdoor space has also been the home to over 7,100 CSL Premier soccer games and other special events such as antique car shows and concerts. Size and quantity, however, tell only half the story. The rest is in the details. Regardless of the scale of your event, the beautiful, raw expanse that is the Rancho Viejo Riding Park, serves as the perfect setting to enjoy a number of activities. Grandstands and the space for additional seating on both the hillside and berm, offer fabulous views of the grounds. Additionally, the gently rolling hillside provides up-close views for all. Grass expanses between arenas and fields invite spectators to stroll the grounds or enjoy a picnic. Blenheim Facility Management is located within an easy drive of many of Southern California’s favorite destinations. Disneyland, California Adventure and Legoland are nearby. The historic San Juan Capistrano Mission and downtown San Juan Capistrano is just minutes away. Upscale shopping at South Coast Plaza and Fashion Island, as well as five-star accommodations at the Ritz Carlton and the Monarch Beach Resort, are within a short drive. And beaches beckon from just a short distance away.
