Sports Wall of Fame
The San Clemente Sports Wall of Fame
Presented by the Friends of San Clemente
One of the cornerstone projects the Friends of San Clemente Foundation is proud to have been part of is the Vista Hermosa Sports Park.
In addition to our support of this project, we created and maintain the San Clemente Sports Wall of Fame.
This beautiful wall, located along the pool deck inside the Vista Hermosa Sports Park is where the city honors its most valuable local sports legends with a custom tile and honorary plaque.
