TicketHold | Buena Vista Aquatic Recreational Area Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at Buena Vista Aquatic Recreational Area

The Buena Vista Aquatic Recreational Area is a premier destination for water sports, concerts, and outdoor events, offering stunning views and a vibrant atmosphere. Whether you're attending a kayak competition, live concert, or family festival, choosing the right seat enhances your experience. This guide breaks down the seating chart, highlights the best sections, and provides tips for selecting ideal seats.

Seating Chart Overview

The venue features three main sections:

  • Grandstand Seating: Central views, elevated for optimal visibility. Best for events like races or performances but can be crowded.
  • Grass Berms: Relaxed, picnic-style seating with a slight incline. Affordable but may have obstructed sightlines.
  • VIP Decks: Premium spots with shade, amenities, and proximity to action. Pricier but ideal for comfort.

Best Seats for Different Events

  • Water Sports: Grandstand rows 10–20 (unobstructed water views).
  • Concerts: Center grass berms (angled toward stage) or VIP decks (closest access).
  • Family Events: Berm edges for easy access to concessions and restrooms.

Seat Views & Tips

Grandstand seats offer clear sightlines, while berms may have partial obstructions (e.g., poles). For budget-friendly options, choose higher berm rows. VIP sections include perks like dedicated entrances and premium catering. Accessible seating is available near ramps in all sections.

Pro Tips

  • Check event-specific maps for stage setups.
  • Arrive early for berm seating to secure the best spots.
  • Use TicketHold’s interactive seat maps to preview your view.
