[1] Founded by R.H. "Budge" Brown, the park enjoyed status as one of the better waterparks in the United States and had easy access to Interstate 5 located at the Oakwood Lake Resort & R.V.
It was familiar to central valley park-goers for its massive drop-down slide "V-Max".
As of April 2008, the site of the old waterpark lies underwater due to the expansion of Oakwood Lake and the surrounding land is being proposed for development which would provide housing for, among other people, commuters to the San Francisco Bay Area.
In 2010, there was talk of a developer buying the land bringing back the water park.
