Oh my gosh!
We drive past Rock-A-Hoola every now and then, on our way to Utah. It's always intrigued me, I've always wanted to go in and take pictures. It's so sad to see it the way it is- I went past it today. It seems to be slowly disappearing..

Today when we went past, we saw a bunch of signs saying it's up for auction.

I'm going to looks through the entire gallery now, I appreciate all these pictures of the water park.

They are currently in the process of fixing it up and restoring it back to it's original glory. Should, and a big should, be open summer of 2012-2014

That place has been a part of my childhood. I'm a native Utahian but my family is in California, so I used to always pass this place. It wasn't until my ex broke me and him into the park. A month later, I found that we could have been caught by police (they heavily patrol the area now) and all we had to do was call the owner, he'd give us a card (in case the police stopped us) and we were more then welcome to roam around.

Seriously? Man, that would be so amazing to go there when it's opened! Like, really amazing. Especially if they got all the same slides and everything.

It seems like such a big project though... is there really much left to work off of? I so wish I could go out and see it... we're not even sure where the exit is though. I do hope it opens up again aaah!

They found old blueprints and are planning one rebuilding the old slides since 99.9% of the park is falling apart. It is a huge project but there are people out there who dedicate their lives to forgotten places. This is there second real big project in California

Off the top of my head, I cannot remember the exit but I do own one of the maps and it says on there When I find it, I will post for you

I can't wait to find out what'll happen to it Pretty crazy to me that America's first waterpark is in ruins!

And that would be awesome

Last I heard, they were having money issues, I just hope people have donated enough

The exit is Hacienda Road

LOL I forgot to preview my post.
Hi I am Chris from OasisThemepark. I am one of the people working to reopen Lake Dolores Waterpark. We will be holding a brick fundraiser to help buy Lake Dolores from auction.
The custom engraved bricks would be used throughout the waterpark. Example locations are bordering the Lazy River, sidewalks and fountain court yard.

Lake Dolores was cool... I will be headed through Yermo when I move to Vegas in a few years, might have to see it IRL...

It's quite a sight to see! Make sure you talk to Spike Lynch before you do or you will get arrested, and I would hate to see you get arrested

I definitely will talk to Spike Lynch, as you mentioned. I hate the cops and hate the idea of going to jail and having my car & belongings seized on my way to Vegas when I move, I've been arrested before and the cops here hate me (long story)

You can find him on Facebook (Mickey Hewitt is friends with him). In California, trespassing is very frowned upon. Spike will give you his card, so if the police stop you, you show it to them and they let you go on their way
