Making waves in the desert

An abandoned waterpark in California’s Mojave Desert could soon be given new life after private firm G&GF Enterprise received approval from San Bernardino County to revitalise the land.






An abandoned waterpark in California’s Mojave Desert could soon be given new life after private firm G&GF Enterprise received approval from San Bernardino County to revitalise the land.

First opened in 1962 and closed during the 1980s, Lake Dolores Waterpark has recently become a “psychedelic backdrop for Instagram photos” despite the no trespassing signs on site.

The new project will be rolled out in five phases, starting with a lake that could be ready by next summer. Work on the water park itself won't start until 2022. It's expected to take six to eight months with WhiteWater handling construction.
