WaterWorks Park,

151 North Boulder Drive, Redding, CA 96003

"This is a fantastic place for family fun. So many different levels of water exploration and physical activity. Everyone from 4-16 had a great time."

"The water park is great for kids and the floor plan isn’t large where the kids have to walk far. Everything seems compact and close to each other which is convenient. The best part is renting the cabanas and having the employees bring you your food and drinks."

"Overall a good time was had, but there needs to be some safety updates. One of the water slides near the baby pool area has a massive part of damage at a place you hit at high speeds. It's extremely dangerous and needs to be repaired in a bad way. It has a literal huge hole in the concrete. Also overall, the cabana we rented was filthy dirty and had a lot of broken furniture. The water jug they brought us for the day was filthy from other people's hands touching the spout where the water comes out. You'd think they would not want to spread covid with these things but it was clear none of this stuff is cleaned all summer. It was super gross. One of the more calm pools was so filthy we couldn't see our feet. Our drinks had stuff floating in them, and the garlic fries are fries with a huge glob of minced garlic thrown on top. Will be skipping those next time. We will come back because the life guards did their jobs well and stayed attentive. It was the end of the season, so maybe it's better at the start. Hopefully some of these things can be fixed for future visits."

"Our first time at Waterworks Park was awesome. My kids are 13 and 9 and they had a blast all day. There's a younger kids area that was full of toddler and preschool age kids, a wave pool, fast slides, a not quite as fast slide, and two other attractions that were for the thrill seeker crowd. My favorite was the Lazy Lagoon. It's a windy shallow pool that has a light current that you can float along. We didn't make use of the snack shack, but I saw many burgers fries and hot dogs being ordered and eaten. I'll have to try it next time. The bathrooms had showers, I didn't use them but I did look at them closely to see how clean they were and they passed my inspection. The bathroom stalls were also in good order. The lifeguards were attentive, so I felt good letting my kids have the run of the place without having to be helicopter mom. I'm hoping we can go back one more time before summer is over."
