Mountain House Water Park

PARK REVIEW

The Mountain House Water Park is so cool!!!! It makes me wish I lived in the East Bay. Mountain House is hot though, so the water feature is much needed on a summer day. At this playground, there is a large water feature area, a toddler playground, and an older kids playground. This park has a basketball court, tennis courts, baseball diamond, and a horseshoe pit.

ADDRESS -- Mountain House, CA along Central Parkway

WATER FEATURE AREA

    • Doesn't that picture look like tons of fun?!?!? The water feature is a large, circular open area. Palm trees surround the area. It's a beautiful oasis. Water shoots up from the ground at different levels. Big kids & babies will have a blast here.

OLDER KIDS PLAYGROUND

    • Down the sidewalk along Central Pkwy. is a second older kids playground. It is next to the tennis courts and the baseball diamond. It is also for children ages 5-12 years. The weighted swing is a lot of fun. I haven't seen one of these at any other park (yet).

There are plenty of areas to picnic. There are 6 tables at the playground. Tables line the path as well. There is also a large field. There is little shade because the trees are so young.

WALKING PATHS

The area is beautifully landscaped, and there are a lot of new trees. It's a very nice place for a walk.

This was a really clean park.

The interior of the bathrooms is really nice. However, they weren't very clean when I visited.
