The dried-out pool and decaying waterslides of Lake Dolores Waterpark in Newberry Springs, California, have only seen urban explorers, skateboarders, film crews and infrequent rains since patrons last cooled off from the desert heat there in 2004.Ĭonveniently located just off Interstate I-15, the park once boasted waterslides, a lazy river, zip-lines, a go-kart track, bumper boats and a family raft ride that held the title for the world's largest in 1998. The graffiti-festooned ruins of America's first waterpark, put on the market in August for $11million after crumbling for two decades in the Mojave Desert, could get its fourth lease on life after a history plagued with bankruptcy.
