Make a splash and catch a flick this August in Irvine where the community's penchant for combining leisure with family fun hits a buoyant note. According to an announcement on the city's official website, the City of Irvine is hosting the Splash-In Movie & Evening Recreation Swim on Saturday, August 24, transforming the William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center into an aqua theater for one night.
By pairing up pool time with showtime, the city invites both kids and adults to dive into the cool waters and enjoy "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" on a big outdoor screen. With the rec swim starting at 6:30 p.m. and the movie rolling at dusk, it's lining up to be the perfect remedy for those warm summer evenings. Entry won't break the bank, either: it's $2 per child and, $4 per adult – a small price to pay for a night of aquatic adventure and cinematic delight.
Parents can breathe easy knowing that lifeguards will be alert and watching over the festivities, but there's a heads-up for families with little ones: children aged 6 and under will need a one-on-one adult companion if they're in the water during the movie screening. This is a safety measure that Irvine doesn't take lightly, given its stature as one of America's safest cities. Safety, after all, is part of what's made Irvine the successful, family-oriented community it is today.
Looking to join in on the fun? The William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center is located at 4601 Walnut Ave. in the heart of Irvine, a city known not only for its idyllic living but for its, expansive green space – including the famous Great Park.
