Why isn't the lease being renewed? I can't imagine attendance being the reason in a city with a million residents. I'm really sad about this. Some of the best memories from my childhood were coming here with my neighbhood friends.

[@bluegrip3007]

They want to build houses.

[@the_bestlordMarkVR]

It’s back

[@user-ie8ld4jh9j]

Raging Waters in San Jose, California should relocate somewhere else around San Jose in the future for all Californians to enjoy and have fun!

[@juliojimenez7126]

I used to be night security at the water park back in 2000. lol. I would have parties there.

[@ericiancarr]

Great America and raging water closures are going to make for some lackluster childhoods in the area. If only Frontier Village was still around.

[@gld1010]

And the original Marine World and Santa's Village. Back in the day when one can have fun under the California sun.

[@erich84502b]

$2 million dollar affordable homes, below market rate. That's what they want to do to Reid Hillview

[@user-cs7vs1xq4w]

Raging waters just needs better MANAGEMENT that are more responsible when it comes to doing their job. Skating & bike riding breaks bones

[@stevendooner5205]

Our group has been selected to assume the lease and reopen the park. We are scheduled to meet with the City Council on February 27, and encourage those who support the park, the jobs it creates, and its service to the community attend if possible.

[@samanthamoose2533]

[@justinwahip]

[@Romthegoat]

[@the_bestlordMarkVR]

[@brianp5205]

Fill the park with homeless. They need a wash.

[@uptopucesf5867]

Lol get rid of activities for kids to build homeless shelters. Watch SJ try to propose something for homeless or crackheads. 😂

[@frankdenardo8684]
