The Los Cabos municipal government has completed rehabilitation work on 72 sports courts spread across San José del Cabo, Cabo San Lucas, and the municipality’s northern zone, Mayor Christian Agúndez Gómez announced.
Of the 72 rehabilitated courts, 40 are located in San José del Cabo and the northern rural communities, while 32 are in Cabo San Lucas. The work included repainting play surfaces and perimeter walls, restoring lighting systems, general cleaning, and replacing basketball backboards and hoops.
Historic Court Gets Full Renovation
The flagship project in the rehabilitation push is an ongoing full renovation of the historic “Fernando I. Cota Sández” court in San José del Cabo. That facility will receive complete waterproofing, a new hardwood floor, new backboards, 24-second shot clocks, and an electronic scoreboard when finished.
The upgrades to the Cota Sández court go well beyond the cosmetic touch-ups applied to the other 72 facilities. The addition of shot clocks and an electronic scoreboard will bring the venue up to competitive standards for organized basketball leagues and tournaments.
Part of a Broader Sports Push
The court rehabilitation effort fits into a larger pattern of sports infrastructure investment in Los Cabos. The municipality’s sports institute, INDEM (Instituto Municipal del Deporte), has been driving projects to expand and modernize athletic facilities across the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. Los Cabos has positioned itself as the state leader in sports infrastructure in Baja California Sur, with officials framing the investment as a response to the municipality’s rapid population growth.
Los Cabos is one of the fastest-growing municipalities in Mexico, fueled by tourism development and construction. Community sports courts serve as key recreational spaces for working-class neighborhoods that often lack parks or other public amenities.
The 72 courts are distributed across a municipality that stretches roughly 100 kilometers from the northern ejido communities down through San José del Cabo to Cabo San Lucas at the peninsula’s tip. For residents of these communities, the rehabilitated courts are often the only nearby option for organized physical activity.
