The Beach opened in 1985 and offers up a variety of excellent water rides. From late November to early January, The Beach is converted into a winter wonderland of sorts. Some of the water slides are converted into toboggan runs, for example, and the wave pool becomes an ice rink. Many a person who grew up in the Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana has fond memories of these amusement parks, and their overall quality is what keeps them popular.

Also helping to make Mason Ohio such a great place to live or visit are the Mason Community Center and the city's public parks.
