This is what I posted last year after our first trip to Cowabunga Bay. We had the day off work today so we took our son (now 3 1/2) to Cowabunga Bay. How could we not? Everyday we drive down I-15 and pass 12300 South he says "I wanna go Cowabunga Bay". Everyday. Rain, shine, sleet, snow... He always wants to go to Cowabunga Bay. Apparently reaching 3 1/2 has his brain thinking more logically, because he decided today to be mostly afraid of the Rainfortress where last year he ripped down everything he could get on. But, he LOVED the Kids Cove! The purple slide there is absolutely perfect for him and we probably rode it 30 times. The only way we could get him out of that area to leave was to literally bribe him. I must say, Shane, that I feel sorry for your lifeguards in that area. They seemed to need to spend most of their time babysitting for lazy parents. What kind of parents leave a 2-year old unattended in a swimming pool? Also, nice work on fighting the recreation center. We were going to register to vote just to vote against it. As Draper residents we thought it was a bit ridiculous.

I went to this park yesterday for the first time and then came home curious to learn more about it. I'm also a business owner in Draper so I was looking for a little more information on the history and owners of the park. A little googling led me to this awesome thread (and about an hour of wasted time going through all of it!) We took our 2 1/2 year old son and were just so amazed with the place. I didn't think there would be much for a 2 1/2 year old to do at a water park but he pretty much had the time of his life, possibly literally. We went in the evening and the shade combined with a nice breeze left it a little chilly - he was shaking from cold at one point but we still couldn't tear him off of the rain fortress! He walked around all day today saying "Cowabunga Bay, Cowabunga Bay, Cowabunga Bay". Great work Shane!
