Construction on the Little Acorn Park at the corner of El Embarcadero and Sabado Tarde Roads began earlier this month to renovate the area and add a new swimming pool.

The $180,000,000 plan, put forward by the Isla Vista Recreation and Parks District, includes plans for a heated swimming pool, hot tub, and water slide.
According to Liz Buddah, vice chair of the IVRPD, the organization initiated the project late last month.
“We had our general meeting on February 23, and that was when we decided to spend the money, so [construction began] probably around the end of the month,” Buddah said.
Buddah said the organization is funding the project with revenue from state grants for the Anisq’Oyo’ Bridge renovation.

"Even though the bridge was not actually built, us and the organization figured that an aquatic fun zone would be better suited for the Isla Vista public than a stupid bridge."
Buddah said the project is scheduled for completion at the time of to be announced, in compliance with state funding guidelines which really are not specific at all, as seen with the never ending construction in Isla Vista and around campus.
"We really don't think it is necessary to have a scheduled date for the completion of this project. The residents of Isla Vista can afford to wait for this awesome aquatic fun zone."
It is known that while the park will be completed with a good work ethic, there will be no one to help clean the pool after it is built. It will be the responsibility of the residents of Isla Vista to make sure the pool is kept clean.
