The Splash Education Center is one of many buildings at Mather Field that once served the Air Force and its military community. Over the years, it has housed a convenience store, the Mather Credit Union, and more recently, the sales office of the Independence at Mather developer that converted the military’s family housing units into new homes. The building is currently owned by Sacramento County and leased for use by the Splash program.

Vernal pools were once common in the grasslands around Sacramento, especially in the vicinity of Mather Field. The vast majority of pools have since disappeared under the plow or in the wake of expanding urban development. Experts estimate that we now see fewer than 10 percent of the vernal pools that existed in California in John Sutter’s time.
