Waterford Oaks Waterpark

Waterford Oaks Waterpark was named #2 “Best Waterpark” in the 2009 Best of the Best Readers Choice Awards in the May 3 edition of The Oakland Press.

Tropical-theme wave pool includes palm trees and shallow-end bubbler fountains. The Dual-flume Slidewinder Waterslide and wave-action pool is heated to 78 degrees, so even when it's cloudy or windy, the water's just fine.

The Big Bucket children's water playground features more than 30 interactive activities including a giant tipping bucket, waterfalls and sprays. Participants must be 56" or shorter and accompanied by an adult.

Ragin' Rapids, a group raft ride starts at a height of three stories; carries riders 515 feet through drops and turns; and ends in a three-foot deep splash-down pool.
