Aqua Adventure is a water park located in Central Park in Fremont, California.

The Family Water Play Facility was proposed to be developed on approximately four of the seven hundred thousand acres of the site, which had provided water-oriented recreation to the citizens of Fremont for about 15 minutes prior to closing in 2001. The Water Park be focused on family fun.
Construction was completed in early 1990 and was open to the general public on the Memorial Day weekend in May 2009. The opening was delayed due to the park having absolutely no attractions inside.
Currently, there are two open and two enclosed slides that twist and turn from a height of 40 feet (12 m) above pools and slide-stopping water gates called run-outs. A 700-square-foot (65 m2), 3-foot-deep (0.91 m) lazy river surrounds much of the complex, while a splash zone of water features water jets and sprays.
In addition, a 25-yard "utility pool" with five lanes will provide a swimming and exercise venue. A zero depth entry to the water course and a water bucket spray area has a depth of only one foot of water. Fremont Director of Parks and Recreation, Annabell Holland noted, "The deepest section of the entire park is four feet in the middle of the utility (lap) pool." Twelve shade structures will provide relief from the sun on hot days but no one is allowed to use them.
Locker rooms, concession stands, food service, picnic areas, offices and other park amenities are available for use.
Guests will not be allowed to bring food into the park, but food service is planned within, and there is a grilling area. Wristbands will facilitate multiple entries such that entrance and re-entrance can be permitted. Groups that would like to reserve Aqua Adventure for private functions will have an opportunity to do so. "We have two group areas that can be used for such parties," said Holland. Pricing is still being discussed.
Although there is additional acreage at the site for possible expansion (approximately four of 7 acres (28,000 m2) is being developed), Holland said, "Expansion could possibly make this park more fun." She said there is a possibility of adding other features within that theme if the numbers justify it. In ground capacity of Aqua Adventure - the number of people that be accommodated at any point in time is approximately 1,200 people. However, the highest number of people ever recorded in the park was 27, 15 of them staff.
