Forebay Aquatic Center

Forebay Aquatic Center offers an unusual outdoor setting for organisers looking to build an event around the water. Based at North Forebay State Recreation Area in Oroville, the centre is particularly suited to relaxed celebrations, family gatherings, company away days, community fundraisers and active group occasions where guests can spend time on the water as well as socialising on shore.

Private event packages can be arranged for groups of different sizes and centre on access to a choice of watercraft and floating activities. Depending on the package, guests can use single or tandem kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and floating features, with further options such as hydro bikes, pedal boats and larger floating play equipment available as extras. Life jackets and an equipment briefing are provided for participants, helping organisers create a more structured and accessible water-based experience.

The venue can also support the practical side of a casual outdoor party. Add-ons include items such as barbecues, tables, chairs, beach toys and games, allowing organisers to shape an informal lakeside gathering around their own guest list and timetable. This makes the centre a compelling choice for birthday celebrations, reunions, team-building days, picnics and nonprofit events that benefit from an active, scenic setting.

Beyond private hire, Forebay Aquatic Center runs guided river trips, paddling activities, educational visits and youth programmes. Its team brings a strong focus on boating knowledge, water safety and local nature, which can add purpose and memorable shared experiences to group bookings. For planners seeking an alternative to a conventional function room, it provides a flexible route to an outdoors-focused event in the Oroville area.
