     History
    This slide and water park were built in the late 1970's at the height of the water park craze. Apparently, the builders didnt' quite understand the difficulty and cost of providing sufficient water for a desert water play area. The park lasted only three years, closing in 1981. It sat vacant but untouched for 15 years, but in 1996, the current owners disassembled a part of the slide and park to sell the land to developers. What remains sits lonely and decaying on a hillside overlooking town.

     Future Plans
    The wood is so rotted that it is starting to fall down by itself. The surrounding area is undergoing a building boom, so soon it will go under the dozers and be only a memory.
