The overall park is nice, however it is starting to show it's age a bit, so hopefully over the next year or two, they do some painting and remodeling to spruce it it a bit, and make it look a bit fresher. During our visit it seemed that the food locations were under staffed, (Covid) and took a bit of time in line to get your food. If you rent a Cabana, the staff will bring you drinks if ordered, which is nice. They also have several food and drink locations to get something to eat and drink if desired, or you do not bring your own. There are lockers to rent if you just want to put all of your stuff inside and not settle at one area. We went during the week on a Tuesday about 11:00 in the morning and the crowd's were not bad, most of the slides had little to no line, however by late afternoon around 3:00 or so, the crowd's did pick up some. It’s a crisis driven by a demand that far. There is also a "Wave Pool" and a "Kiddie Area / Pool" so there should be something for just about everyone to enjoy. Fresno county is short more than 36,000 affordable housing units, according to the California Housing Partnership, a trend echoed throughout the state. There are a total of 11 water slides spread across three area's, all but one is individual slide, with one with larger inner tubes for up to six people. We had a Cabana that would seat 6 - 8, which was covered and had a table with 6 chairs and 2 lounges. We had kid's with us, and they enjoyed the ability to be able to get in the water, ride the slides, and have a place to come back to and relax.


Once inside we were escorted to our reserved Cabana, which for us was on the middle island (over the bridge) inside the "Lazy River". We purchased advance tickets and a Cabana so we did not have to wait in line to enter, which would suggest for anyone wanting to attend. Visited Island Water Park for the first time, large parking lot, so there is plenty of parking and easy walk to the front gates.
