Advocate for Hesperia City Indoor Waterpark Development


Advocate for Hesperia City Indoor Waterpark Development
The Issue
Did you know the City of Hesperia is home to one of the freshest underground rivers and aquifers in America? Imagine utilizing this natural resource to power an indoor waterpark right next to our city library.
The development "powered by the purest, freshest water in the nation," will boost our High Desert economy by attracting tourists and providing a safe recreational oasis for our residents from a central locale for outlying cities.
The proposed indoor waterpark which would be open all year long would feature a midsize, mid-deep lazy river around the inside perimeter. At its center, a tall, swirly open waterslide for both kids and adults. A children's splash play area in the back right with two smaller open waterslides. A hot tub with jets on the right. A large "Shallow Burble Pool" at the front, where toddlers, elders, and everyone in between can soak their feet or unwind (as in mall fountains).
Squiggles of neon on the inside walls and LED patches in lazy river could change color to change up mood and tone for holidays and seasons to keep it fresh: Red and green for Christmas; orange and purple for Halloween; red and pink for Valentine's Day, etc.
A Nickelodeon for a coin fee can play your favorite family-friendly song quietly on the overhead speakers for all to hear.
Details & ideas can be adjusted accordingly.

if we don’t speak up — if we don’t show there’s demand — this vision may dry up before it ever flows.
So speak.
Share.
We want this. We are ready. We believe in it.
From aquifer to action.
From parched land to paradise.
From overlooked to unforgettable.
Let’s make City of Hesperia the oasis city it was always waiting to become.
