Wave pools? River rides? The perfect way to beat the heat is right here in Oakland County.  Slipping and sliding, playing and floating, Oakland County Parks and Recreation’s Waterparks are a hit with the family every time.

Red Oaks Waterpark and Waterford Oaks Waterpark feature the sort of must-see waterpark attractions that are guaranteed to excite the whole family.

Guests at Red Oaks ride the waves in the wave-action pool, head down a triple turn waterslide and get completely and utterly soaked at the soak station.

Like Red Oaks, Waterford Oaks also offers a wave pool adorned with palm trees near the shore. Waterford Oaks also features a tipping bucket in their ‘Big Bucket’ playground, complete with waterfalls and sprays.

Both waterparks take rafting to a new level. Guests can relax and float down the ‘River Ride’, a 990-foot long moving lazy river at Red Oaks, or hit the ‘Ragin’ Rapids’ at Waterford Oaks, a group raft ride that begins three stories high.

Red Oaks Waterpark has a Soak Station, children’s water playground. Spray & Play, a water play area for toddlers. River Ride. Waterpark features include a giant wave-action pool and triple water slide, playground, sun bathing deck, sun shelter and a modern bathhouse with lockers, showers and restrooms.
