The Dublin Wave Waterpark and Aquatic Center - Dublin, California

Love this place for kids 13 and under. My kids are 7 & 4 and it's perfect for them. We pack food in a cooler and go to the car to eat. U can't take food in, they check bags before u enter so go early and park up close.

July 9 which was a Sunday, we had rented two private cabanas for our party of 10 and purchased water tickets. The total price was $416 and we (ahead of time) rented the cabanas in may of 2023. The cabanas had already started getting reserved in may so I panicked and got them then.

The park was super clean and had a good crowd. Everyone was polite, nice and smiled when you walked by. The only exception was like 5 rowdy teenagers in the adult pool who kept splashing everyone. When I went by them I screamed “DONT SPLASH ME THANK YOU” and they started laughing but didn’t splash me. Oh to be the hell-on-wheels age of 13 again. besides that we loved the facilities, slides and pools. The water in ALL POOLS were almost like bath water. The day was a brisk 63 degrees with the fog threatening to roll over every second, but every single pool was as warm as could be. The cleanest, nicest pool was the 7 foot diving pool (can’t dive) and we enjoyed swimming around for several hours while our kids were off with their uncle doing water slides.

The bathrooms were fairly clean and numerous. At 5pm when we decided to leave I went into the 8 showers and only 3 of them were being used. (The park closes at 6pm) I loved how MANY LOUNGERS, Adirondack chairs and umbrellas there were. If you’re worried you won’t get a place to sit, DONT! A busy Sunday and there were still PLENTY of places to sit and enjoy even in the shade. The chairs were all clean and sturdy.

The only reason I took off a star from The Wave was this: I guess their snack bar was brought over by a nicer company (then prior) and they touted you could get better snacks and drinks.
The prices weren’t astronomical - burgers $8-$10, nachos and veggies/hummus $5, drinks $3-4…. But they were VERY PLAIN and very boring. The nachos were maybe 10 stale round chips with freezing cold canned nacho cheese (that’s it), hummus and veggies were 4 carrot sticks and 5 celery sticks in a ziplock with a small lunchbox sabra hummus container, the burgers were about the size of McDonald’s small ones and came with a ziplock of lettuce, tomatoes and a pickle. Overall for the price I know you’re thinking : what do you expect? But it was all soooo cold and mediocre, I don’t know. Lol

The last comment I want to say was the place opened at 11am and we got there at 1230. The first pool we went into was the indoor Natatorium. It had only been open an hour and half at that point. There were HUGE CHUNKS of black hair floating EVERYWHERE. Like someone lost their whole head of hair in the pool that morning. We kept having to dodge them to swim, lol. But the other pools were very clean. Besides that, that’s the only ? thing we saw on a busy Sunday. It was 95% clean.

Would definitely go back here , for a fun day, a birthday party or any other time. Wish we could bring our own snacks in ?

the place is good, near to me... nice 1 day fun for Kids and family.
if you like water slides this is good place and affordable...
they also have indoor and outdoor swimming pool... lockers to keep your stuff. its a huge park out side too... nice picnic spot overall.
the only thing i dislike is the chemicals in the water, we felt its too much.

It’s pretty small place for the water park part. Not too much fun for little kids. The lifeguards are not responsible if other kids hit your girls/boys by using water toy!!! We complained but they did nothing. Keep an eye on your little ones when they are playing.
The restroom and change rooms are clean.

First time going here. Plenty of parking and it’s free. It’s a nice water park. We all loved it. Loved the indoor pool. Water wasn’t too cold vs other water park places. Loved that they had several showers. Not much wait for the water slides. Even though it was somewhat packed it didn’t feel like that because of the several sections they have. Reason why I only gave it 4 stars is that the bathrooms weren’t as clean and some have ran out of toilet paper. Also the portions of the food were very small compared to other water parks portions. No food is allowed. Water makes your hair super dry. More than other water parks. Had to shampoo 3 times and deep condition.

This review is for Dublin swim team Dublin Green Gators
1. Read this review thoroughly before deciding to enroll your kid in Dublin Green Gators. They use the same pool for waterpark and swimteam with lot of harsh chemicals, making it very bad for swim team to swim every day, not to mention they squeeze the swim team schedule around that and green gators practice is every day 7 am in summer (gosh), when other swim teams around practice around convenient time of around 9 am / 10 am.
2. Their swim schedule of every morning 7 am in summer is very inconvenient for young children and youth. And the head coach is not compassionate, she comes across as rude with no smile on the face, goes just by rules handbook without listening to what parents are saying.
3. They have other time of 6 pm in evening, however the spot is not guaranteed
4. The swim team needs to share the pool with general public, though not at the same time. General public, the whole facility operates from 11 to 6 pm, leaving the time of before 10 am and after 6 pm for the swim team
5. They use lot of chemicals. The same pool gets used by swim team and heavy traffic of public on a given day. It is not just safe to have your swimmer swim there every day when the same pool is used by public
6. The price to join the swim team is very high and you need your kid to wake up at around 615 am to swim there at 7 am every day
7. I don't know how they are allowed to run a summer swim team when the same water gets used by such a heavy rush of general public
8. The head coach is new, possibly in teens and rude. She talks about rule book and there is no compassion.
9. They wont let the morning swimmer swim in evening, however they will let the swimmer swim in the evening for swimathon as it is fund raising event
10. Your swimmer would need to share a lane with possibly around 5 other swimmers in one lane.
11. Look around other swim teams in the bayarea, where the practice time is not in morning 7 am, where the pool is not shared with public and filled with outrageous amount of chemicals, where the head coach is compassionate and not rude. You will make your kid not like swimming if you get them to Dublin Green Gators

Super fun and clean park! I love coming here for the cool watersides. Front desk staff is always super nice and helpful.

The facility itself is nice and my kids enjoyed themselves. The slide seams could be better. The loungers were filthy upon arrival and honestly not worth it. They could at least sweep or wipe them off. We got two sets and wish we hadn’t.
