Cool Down at Inland Water Parks

One thing about the Inland Empire that I'm not too crazy about is the heat. While we are sweltering in 90+ degree temps, the beach communities are usually enjoying temps in the mid 70's. And if you live in Oxnard, you rarely hit 80 degrees. On the plus side, we have more than just a few water parks in which to cool down. Here is a list of the largest water parks in the IE.
