The Wave at Emerald Glen Park

Dublin’s highly anticipated $43 million water park is a vibrant, 31,000-square-foot destination featuring multiple pools, exhilarating slides, and an interactive splash playground. Built during one of California’s most severe droughts, the park opened just as the state began to recover—offering a refreshing and much-needed retreat for the community.

Far more than a typical community pool, this water park boasts amusement park-style attractions designed to keep visitors coming back for more. The signage program reflects the park’s dynamic energy, with bold, playful colors enhancing the exterior. Inside, the signage takes inspiration from the park’s vibrant palette while incorporating a timeless boardwalk aesthetic, blending nostalgia with modern fun.
