Flash Flood Water Park — Attraction in Battle Creek

My family and I have been going to full blast since it first opened several years ago. It was extremely nice at that time. The whole building was full blast. It had an indoor play area, games, inflatables, indoor pool area, clean restrooms and a concession area. Plenty of space and plenty of people. A very nice environment for a child's birthday party. Later they added glow golf and then roller skating. At that time it was open all year. There was also the outdoor water park with many other items outside including a play structure. This part was only open during the summer. The Price to get in was $7.00. Now the only area left is known as flash floods. The outdoor water park with no play structure. Today we went and discovered the indoor water slide and pool area has been removed. There was no outdoor trampoline and no two person tubes for the outdoor water park. The price 13.00 to use the outdoor water area, one bucket of water balloons and two inflatable play structures. It is a mere shell of what it used to be. No one cleans the bathrooms throughout the day and so they are filthy and germ ridden. The table we sat at was broken. They have the same furniture they had when they first opened two decades ago. They are only open from May to September so you would think they could fix up the equipment during that time. The concrete and paint in the bathrooms are broken and peeling. I will likely not go back and would not recommend this to anyone. If you were not around when it was first built or for the first 8-10 years, you probably do not know what I am speaking about. It is a shame it has gone into such disrepair when it could be a nice place for our of town...

This was a small, but fun water park, especially for the elementary age kids. My 3-yr old wasn't tall enough for the two big water slides, but did have fun in the little play structure in the zero entry shallow area. One slide was for tubes and the other for one-person only. The single tubes were free to use, but the double tubes required a rental-deposit of $5. This seemed strange, and even after I got one, quickly decided it probably wasn't worth it. Also, though we had wrist bands to connect us to our double tube, I don't think everyone knew that they were a rental, and when we walked away from our tube, it disappeared and we never found it again. Thankfully, the park gave us our full deposit back. When the kids got cold or bored in the big pool and water slides, they had a few other activities to try out, like the water balloon launcher (normally an extra cost, but the indoor pool was closed on the day we went, so they gave everyone a free bucket of water balloons). There was also the crank-water game that dumps water on the person that cranks the slowest. I didn't get a picture of these, and I don't know if they are always there, but they had an inflatable bounce house and double slide. The kids--even the 3-yr old-- had a blast on these. The kids had a lot of fun, and would consider coming back maybe when the 3yr old is tall enough to ride...

The staff is nice the Water Park area outside is nice for toddlers even though we only got to visit for about half an hour before they evacuated everybody because of the bad storm that rolled in. This was my family's first time visiting. What I was very unhappy about were the bathrooms... My advice is if you need to put your babies or toddlers in swimmies do it in your vehicle and use the bathroom before coming here. This place could use workers one for men's one for women's restrooms who spot clean every half hour as needed because the women's bathroom was disgusting the only changing room with a bench to put my babies in their swimmies and swimsuits had a used tampon tube with blood on it on the bench along with the wrapper and somebody's used earring laying there. Some people are just nasty and have no respect for public places, then one of the showers had a used baby diaper left in it... SMH!!! Really hoping they sanitize these benches with...
