“Chapoteo,” which means “splash” in Spanish, was designed with a fiesta theme for District 7. The park offers a unique experience based on celebrating the community culture of the Mission Valley.
The water park includes water slides at the Calavera Plunge, Rio Sereno lazy river, El Valiente climbing wall, Chalupa Springs leisure pool, and Lago Azul pool. A splash play area in the Lagarto Lagoon was created for small children to enjoy. Las Casitas cabanas and the Marigold Plaza are shaded areas to relax out of the sun or enjoy a snack from the snackbar La Olla Café.
Unique design features include string lights, a Mexican fountain, sandblasted Papel Picado flags on the hardscape, custom signage, a bell tower, and Mexican lantern light fixtures on the building for a fun fiesta ambiance.
