The much-anticipated Wild Rivers water park is under construction and on pace to open in early June, Wild Rivers President Mike Riedel says.

For many Irvine residents, the original Wild Rivers was a family summer tradition that created lasting memories. The new park will be more than 40% larger at 20 acres.

“When it opens, we want everyone to say, ‘Wow, this is amazing!’” he says.

Twenty attractions will be available on opening day. They include Adventure River, kids’ slides, six-person raft rides, body slides, tube slides, mat racers and a wave pool. The park will require a reservation to control the number of people.

Wild Rivers will host a job fair on April 2 and 3.
