Summer time is almost over but not here at this little water park in Claremont Ca.
This Splash Park is at Memorial Park. It is open Monday - Friday 11:30 to 1:30
The girl that works this is very helpful and friendly.

She said there was 2 other ones in the city.
1. El Barrio Park
2. Stuart Wheeler Park
( These are only open M/W/Fri )

For "Older Kids" she said there was swimming at the Jr. High for $2

This is our new hangout on Tuesdays & Thursdays since Emilio has pre-school at Alexander Hughes Community Center.

If you see Emilio and I (Gabriel) say "hello"
or
ask me for my card.

I might give you a discount on my Dj Service.

Its Splash Park season again

2009-04-08T01:39:00.000-07:00

Spring is here and Summer is on its way!

Emilio and Gabriel were in the Sunshine Park area of La Puente,California.
We decided to stop by the water park to see if the water was on.
The first time this year the Splash Park Hunters are not prepared but Emilio blended in with his red underwear pretty good.

The water was pouring down the colorful buckets and 5 children were already there at 2pm this second week of April.

We only stayed for it few minutes but Emilio was playing in the water within 5 minutes.

Happy Halloween from the Splash Park Hunters.
So far we got a few splash pads in.
Not as many as we anticipated due to the membership of Raging Waters.
Raging Waters Membership - dont do it!
Its only good from the first day until Memorial Weekend,when kids get out of school and there is a 2 hr wait for each ride.

2009 we are strickly SplashPad

Hopefully we can get some more splashpads in 2008 still.
Southern California's weather is so crazy.
It might be hot in December.
Keep the New Splash parks coming in.
We want to know where they pop up.
Emilio is going to be Dumbo for Halloween.
Thanx for reading.

Heres the "End of Summer" family pic.

Lady Gaga lyrics heard at Raging Waters -

Lady Gaga lyrics heard at Raging Waters
Michelle,Emilio and I are season pass holders
Emilio and I went when Lady Gaga & Swayze was there with Kiss FM 102.7 radio station in Los Angeles.(Sisanie was the host and Dj Chunk was the Dj)

Of course I was the first to win the giveways with music questions.
I had my hand up for each question. Too bad Kiss gives only one winner a prize. I would of won all of em.

This is the hat that I have on my Facebook profile here

Lady Gaga was walking to the stage before here performance a couple of times.
1 time she stood right next to me.
I SWEAR SHE TRIED TO HOLD MY HAND :)
I thought she was crazy because she was wearing all black in 100 degree weather.

By the time she came on it was nap time for Emilio. We watched from the Upper Deck Area.
Other wise we would be on this Youtube video.

AS FOR RAGING WATERS........

Weekends is a Dont Go!
2 hr wait each ride.
The river is lemonade yellow.
Overcrowded.

However, it is fun when the radio stations are there.

No Shade at Valleydale Park

2008-06-18T22:03:00.000-07:00

This splash pad sucked. This splash pad didnt have any shade near by.

Either this place is used alot or they are not keeping this park maintained.
Some of the water stuff was broken,

However, there was trash all over the place.
I dont think it was the city's fault.
The people at this park are pigs.

The playground had a cool little piano thing that Emilio liked.
It even had a orange concrete playground that I use to play in at Guasti Park in Ontario,Ca.

I would never come back to this place again.

The splash pad was ok.

The playground was nice.
This place is crowded on the weekends.

Splashpad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

• •

Jump to: navigation, search

A splashpad is an area for water play that has no standing water. This is said to eliminate the need for lifeguards or other supervision, as there is practically no risk of drowning. Splash pads have been around in the commercial industry for decades, but in 2004, Splash Zone, an Arizona company, introduced the residential splash pad.

Typically there are ground nozzles that spray water upwards. There may also be other water features such as a rainbow (semicircular pipe shower), a mushroom shower, or a tree shower. As well, some splash pads feature movable nozzles similar to those found on fire trucks to allow users to spray others.

The showers and ground nozzles are often controlled by a hand activated-motion sensor, to run for limited time. Typically the water is either freshwater, or recycled and treated water, that is typically treated to at least the same level of quality as swimming pool water standards.

Los Angeles Park - Sunshine Park

2008-05-17T21:27:00.000-07:00

Sunshine Park Walnut/Lapuente

This place I would of never found. I came here on my lunch one time because I seen it in the map book. I am not sure if this lies in Walnut or La puente California.
This is the second spash pad we have been to, after Monte Vista Park in Chino, California.
This is a very nice park for being around the old houses it is around. It is good that Los Angeles county is not only putting parks in new home areas.
The playground is brand new and the splashpad is brand new, free of graffiti. Lets home the neighborhood can help keep it up. The splashpad has a covering over it to block the sun, which makes it ideal for only hot summertime weather.

Thanks to Yahoo Maps for allowing me find it again. I would of got lost.

We are looking for all the splash parks in Southern California. Email us to bring us to a splashpad near you and blog it. at SouthernCalideej at aol.com

About the Splash Park Hunters

2008-05-17T21:12:00.000-07:00

Emilio currently 2 years old. He is a full time kid with no spare time.
Since the age of 3 days old. Michelle and I knew we were gonna have to find a way for this kid to like water. He cried at every bath for the first 2 weeks. Then after 2 weeks I thought this kid does not like baths. I told Michelle lets give him a shower with me.The second he got in the shower and got wet he smiled, and I knew what my lil boy liked.

Im Gabe I have been dj'ing for a few years now. Im starting to work on my bachelors degree at Cal Poly Pomona. I have 4 Associate degrees and 2 certificates. I have always like the water even after nearly drowning 2 times. The first time I almost drowned was in the Azusa canyons in the Los Angeles National Forest in California. The second, was in Kings River in the Sequoia National Forest also in California.
Follow me on Twitter

Michelle is joing us for 2009.
Keep up to date on her atTwitter

We tried calling and emaling the County parks and cities of both Los Angeles and San Bernardino. They knew nothing about these parks. The said "Water Parks?" There is only Raging Waters, Wild Rivers, Hurricane Harbor.
It wasnt until I was at Sunshine Park in Walnut, that I talked to one of the attendants that worked for the Los Angeles County Aquatics. He said they were called "Splash Pads."
I didnt know?
