Brentwood water park closed after kids reportedly sickened

Four children allegedly fell ill with vomiting and diarrhea after playing at a Brentwood water park June 11, according to a complaint inspection report obtained by the East Bay Times. The water park area at Blue Goose Park has been shut temporarily.

In a June 20 website announcement about the closure, the city’s Parks and Recreation Department did not mention that the sick children and park closure were related. They stated that the water features of the park were “currently non-operational due to a mechanical issue” and that the department is “working to repair it and get it back in working order as soon as possible.
