Nestled on 85 scenic acres in the heart of Monterey, just a short walk from Del Monte Beach and the iconic Fisherman’s Wharf, Monterey Peninsula College is proud to be a hub for athletic excellence and community wellness. Our athletics and fitness facilities span nearly 20% of the campus, reflecting MPC’s strong and ongoing commitment to health, performance, and student success.
Athletic & Kinesiology Facilities
Since 2000, MPC has invested more than $31 million in state-of-the-art upgrades to
its athletic and fitness infrastructure, thanks to the support of voters through local
bond measures. Measure I (2002) funded $25.9 million in improvements, and Measure
V (2020) has contributed $5.2 million to date, ensuring our facilities continue to
meet the evolving needs of our campus and community.
Recent enhancements include newly resurfaced tennis/pickleball courts and all-weather
8-lane track with exchange lanes, modern monofilament turf fields for football, soccer,
baseball, and softball, and inclusive, gender-neutral locker rooms in the Fitness
Center. Every upgrade is thoughtfully designed with equity, accessibility, and excellence
in mind, empowering student-athletes and welcoming the broader community to move,
play, and thrive at MPC.
