Splash! La Mirada Regional Aquatics Center

About

Splash! combines top quality competitive and instructional pools with a family-oriented water park.

Story

“Splash!” covers 18 acres and has two major components.

The competitive and instructional side of the facility includes
a 50-meter competition pool with a moveable bulkhead,
two 1-meter competition springboards and two 3-meter
springboards on concrete platforms. The facility also includes
a 25-yard recreation/teaching pool, a therapy spa, and two
LED scoreboards. Splash! has also been equipped with space
and plumbing for a second 50-meter pool, and plumbing for a
600-square-foot therapy pool.

The family-fun oriented “Buccaneer Bay”, combines the
excitement of a water park with the type of decorative pirate
features found in a theme park. Buccaneer Bay features a
flowing river channel, three water slides, a children’s interactive
play structure, zero-depth beach entry and two spray pad
areas. Pirate themed elements include: a marooned ship, a
dramatic skull rock, shade canopies that resemble sails, cannon
walls, wharf plank benches, and crow’s nests.
