De Mirandabad is the city-run pool complex on the south side of town. Its best-known part is the subtropical wave pool under a glass dome with palm trees, where kids go down the high slide and climb on floating toys.

There is also a 25-meter lap pool looking out on the garden, and an outdoor pool with a small playground and picnic tables.
