The Aquatic and Recreation Center is a 75,000 square foot building that features two rooftop swimming pools, including a competition pool and a recreational pool, and a multi-sport court with bleacher seating and scoreboards that accommodate a variety of sports. The building offers five community meeting rooms and one conference room as well as City staff office space, a classroom for the Tiny Tot Program, a public access television studio, lockers, and underground staff parking. 

• 1,500 tons of steel
• 6,000 cubic yards of concrete (equivalent to approximately 650 concrete truck loads)
• 20,000 square feet of windows
• 75,000 square feet of flooring, including
  • 8,000 square feet of carpet
  • 4,000 square feet of ceramic tile
  • 16,000 square feet of rubber flooring
  • 15,000 square feet of sports court flooring
  • 32,000 square feet of concrete flooring
• 137,000 square feet of interior finished walls, including
  • 120,000 square feet of painted walls
  • 12,000 square feet of tiled/water resistant walls
  • 2,500 square feet of acoustic wood wall paneling
  • 1,500 square feet of plastic laminated wall paneling
  • 1,000 square feet of plastic resin wall paneling 
• Prior to and during construction, 20,000 cubic yards (or a 20 foot depth) of soil was removed and replaced to address poor soil conditions. This is equivalent to approximately 1800 dirt haulers.

West Hollywood Park upgrades include expanded open space and landscaped areas, a “Robertson Gardens” area with public art, new picnic areas, an outdoor exercise circuit for adults, and a new children's playground. There are also two off-leash dog parks, one for small dog and a second for large dogs, with open space expanses and shade trees, small mounds and turf terraces for romping, and water stations.  

The AIDS Monument, a collaboration between the Foundation for a National AIDS Monument (FAM), artist Dan Tobin and the City of West Hollywood, will be located within the park’s expanded green spaces along San Vicente Boulevard. It will be a visually distinct and tranquil area to be experienced in many different ways.
