It s one of only a couple water parks in Northern California, so we go occasionally but it is filthy and poorly managed. No wonder you can get tickets for $36.99 in the middle of summer. My biggest complaint: The only bathrooms are at the entrance to the park and lines are always at least 5 people deep which means a lot of kids are going in the water. The bathroom was also out of soap all day and the floor was covered with wet trash.

Every trash can in the park was over-flowing. No one was emptying them.

I saw at least three babies - not walking or just able to walk - without swim diapers. I m a mom, so I know that these kids are too small to be potty trained. Even my local tiny pool requires swim diapers and enforces it.

I could go on ... I sound picky and ridiculous, but I don t think I am. I just can t make sense if it.

I was going to give it two stars, but there are a lot more lifeguards this year. They appear to be focused and well trained. I suppose that s probably more important than trash.

I really hope this is the last year my kids want to come.

If you need to beat the heat and don t mind a lot of grime, then go for it.

But if you ve been to other water parks, this will probably be a big let down.
