Cloverleaf Waterpark

USA / California / Cathedral City / Edom Hill Road
 abandoned / shut down, interesting place, historical layer / disappeared object, historic ruins
Cloverleaf was in operation for just over 2 years, 1987-1988.
Admission was $5.
The big cloverleaf shape was a huge shallow wading pool.
The parking was the area near the road.
There were two different areas with slides. Just to the right of the cloverleaf pool were the waterslides for small children. At the far right of the cloverleaf pool were the waterslides for big kids and adults up a hill.
The large waterslides were very long and windy.
At the time, it was often mentioned that cloverleaf had the longest enclosed waterslide in the country.
Occasionally the site was used as a concert venue.
It suffered from frequent, mild sandstorms and ant infestations.

  • I used to go there with my family when we were little, in the 80's, more fun then I can remember.
  • This is the place that Wang Chung refused to perform at after arriving and seeing the actual place they were booked for a concert.
  • My wife use to think I made this place up. I told her about a water park in the middle of no where, I went to in the 80's.
  • the day of the concert was a huge sand storm and they refused to play that day
  • I wondered what happened. It just disappeared. Thought maybe it was because of a terrible accident with a pick up going over a cliff.
  • Wow. Didn't realize it was that bad. I remember being so excited as a kid to go there.
