A former waterpark in the Mojave Desert 20 miles east of Barstow, CA, has been abandoned several times since it opened in 1962. It last closed in 2004 and devolved into a destination for graffiti artists and skateboarders. We have stopped here several times, each time the buildings were different. During our last visit, earlier in 2022, we spoke with a woman who said her company was redeveloping the location into a racetrack, concert venue and graffiti contest site. A large portion of the former waterpark had been demolished and earthmoving equipment was busy pushing dirt around the area. I tried to determine whether her plans for the site had come to fruition but was unable to determine anything in a google search. If these buildings still stand, I am confident more graffiti will recover the surfaces again.
