I grew up loving to go to waterslide parks. In the summer, it was a special treat to visit the Tri Cities (WA) and go to Oasis Waterworks for the day. So, yesterday we took a summer day and spent time together as a staff at one of the local waterslide parks in Tijuana. Tijuana has several parks that have pools (albercas) and waterslides (toboganes), and we decided to check one out. So... off we went, the Baja Staff, local friends and our guests visiting us from Washington State. I will just say, it was awesome. Fast slides, short lines, and not too many rules. You could go down slides backwards, headfirst...

The park has been in Tijuana for over 50 years
The Medusa. Imagine the ride at the fair with the gunnysacks... add water and you have the Medusa.
I tried out the white one and really liked it. The blue slide next to it is called the Kamikaze. It was definitely the tallest slide at the park and even our neighbor Chewy knows this slide. I am not sure this picture shows the top part well, but I was told that the tube was probably there to make sure you stayed on the slide :-)
This was my favorite slide. You went down the tube and it shot you out into the larger bowl. Once you entered the bowl you could go around inside 1-3 times before being dropped out the bottom shoot.
There were several water games throughout the park too. In addition to this one they had a rope swing, a river and a wave pool.
It was a really good day. We came home tired, content, and a little sore from playing so hard. I would gladly go and do it all over again.
