Wild Rivers is a water park in Irvine, California, United States. It opened in July 1986 on the site of the former Lion Country Safari. Following the expiration of its lease with The Irvine Company, it closed on September 25, 2011. Since the closure, there have been plans to recreate Wild Rivers in Irvine on or near the Orange County Great Park, which have been under development. The developers secured full funding and commenced construction on July 1, 2021, confirming the park's reopening for Summer 2022. The new Wild Rivers location held its soft opening on July 10, 2022, up until its official grand opening as of July 29, 2022 and is 50% bigger than the old park.
