Directions to the Lakeside Polo Club & Game Times

The Lakeside Polo Club is located in the El Monte valley about 2 miles east of the town Lakeside which is about 15 miles east of San Diego, California, USA. It is not visible from any roads hence difficult to find for the first time, even if you live in Lakeside.

Game Times:

Game times are typically Saturday Morning and Sunday Afternoon, the exact time varies with the season and daylight savings time changes. In the very rare case of rain (Lakeside gets less than 10 inches per year) the games are canceled to preserve the grass field. When predictable a weather forcast is provide below for the Lakeside Polo field.
For specific game times or conditions try asking on the bulletin board: http://members4.boardhost.com/lakesidepolo/
Note that these are the times we would like to throw the ball in, please compensate for your tacking time and field check time.
