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).
