A trip to Plaza El Segundo is so much more than a day of shopping. Home to the finest boutiques and trendiest restaurants, Plaza El Segundo features three unique architectural styles… modern and elegant, industrial inspired and California Mediterranean. The distinct architecture is surrounded by beautiful award winning landscaping and a collection of one of a kind whimsical steel sculptures, a playful pop jet fountain and outdoor seating areas. We invite you to explore Plaza El Segundo’s open-air setting unparalleled in the beach communities.
The butterfly found in the Plaza El Segundo logo is a tribute to the real life El Segundo Blue Butterfly which is one of 25 insects on the U.S. Endangered Species List. The tiny butterfly, with a wing span of less than one inch, is making a gradual recovery and resides now in three areas outside of El Segundo.
Plaza El Segundo’s signature blue butterfly is also replicated on the tiled floor of the pop jet fountain which is located in The Collection district. This interactive water feature erupts with mischievous water spouts that shoot up and then disappear. A colorful seat wall decorated with children’s hand-painted tiles is also located in this area.
Plaza El Segundo’s outdoor setting features tree lined walkways and environmentally friendly and beautiful landscaping that reflects Southern California’s distinct climate. In 2008, the center’s landscaper Live Art Plantscapes, Inc. received a first place award in a statewide competition from the California Landscape Contractors Association for their work at Plaza El Segundo.
