Oakland County Waterparks

I received my own passes from Oakland County Parks and Recreation to the waterparks for the purpose of this post.

Mother Nature’s thermostat has been cranked these past few days, which means one thing: WATER FUN. We are lucky to have tons of lakes, splash pads and more in this area, but two mega fun Oakland County Waterparks — Red Oaks Waterpark, {Madison Heights}, and Waterford Oaks Waterpark {Waterford}, stand out in my mind.

Learn more about the parks below and then enter to win 1 of 4 family 4-packs of passes to the park of your choosing!

  1. I think Red Oaks, because it’s closer to me. I’m a HUGE fan of Waterford Oaks but have never been to Red Oaks. 🙂

  3. I’ve never taken the kids to either so they both look like a ton of fun. I think I would choose Waterford Oaks since I have smaller kids:)

  4. I would love to win passes to Red Oaks Waterpark! We’ve never been, and I know the girls would love it.

  5. Summer fun at the waterpark souns like a way to help fill our summer bucket list.

  8. Probably Waterford Oaks as I’ve never been there. My kids would looooove to go!

  12. Awe I would love to take my son to the Red Oaks Soak station. He is a little young for the rest but I wouldn’t mind the rest 😉

  13. Red Oaks! My mom used to take us as kids and I would love to take my kids there.

  16. Our family loves red oaks water park. In fact I was just thinking its time for a visit! My family would love to win!

  18. I was a lifeguard as a teen at Waterford Oaks… it would be fun to go back with my boys.

  24. I would say Red Oaks. I used to love it there as a kid. There are so many new things and I would love to take my daughter! Thanks for the opportunity.

  28. I love both parks – my kiddos love the big tube slide at Waterford but I love the lazy river at Red Oaks…. its a toss up! But they’re both a great way to spend the day. 🙂

  30. This looks and sounds fantastic! I have always heard of this waterpark, but have never been. This would be so fun to take my family.

  35. Would love win tickets to either, my kids have never been to either and they look like a lot of fun

  36. I’m pretty sure I’d use the passes for the Red Oaks Waterpark. But really now that I know about them I might just do them both at some point and the passes will just help me save money on one or the other. 🙂

  37. I’d use the passes for Waterford Oaks because it’s closer, but both waterparks are stellar!

  38. I have been to both but it has been years. Waterford is closer to me but we would be happy with either park. I would be so thrilled just to win and would not complain of I had to drive a bit to go. Thanks for the opportunity!

  46. Both parks are awesome! I haven’t been in a couple years and would definitely enjoy going again!

  47. Honestly I am unsure as to which we would go to. We are still a lil new to the area and have not gone to any of these yet.

  50. We’ve gone to Waterford Oaks before but we really really want to go to Red Oaks

  54. I would travel to either, though Waterford is closer to my home. I would probably go to Red Oaks for the lazy river 😉

  55. love red oaks.. never been to waterford oaks though.. looks like it’s just as fun.. got to check it out!

  58. I would head over Waterford Oaks for my sons first visit! We’d cool down and make lots of memories! Take a few pictures!
