Like most community pools, it's in a beautiful neighborhood of Burbank and has some playgrounds and tennis courts near the pool. The locker rooms are kept up really well and the pool's temperature is kept at just the right level of cold and the chlorine level doesn't feel drastic as some places. The staff are great and helpful. The day rate depends on if you live in Burbank or not ($6-8) for lap swim and keep their schedule updated on their website. Bring your own swim gear as they are not provided by the aquatic center! Depending on time of day and when you go, the lap swim can be metered or by yards, as the layout of the pool can change (with kids swim, open swim, aerobics) nearby. Theres also a nice outdoor area for family events or kids birthday parties. Theres street side parking and they have a good size parking lot but it's pretty busy on weekends; people leave frequently and usually are waiting for your parking spot when you head out! A local who has been coming here for years encouraged me to try Mccambridge Recreation Pool (which I have yet to)!

This place is a great summer spot for my kids. We always have fun here. During the summer, it's our…read morego-to place to escape the heat without having to travel too far. The area is fairly spacious, and there's a pool you can jump into if the playground gets old. The downside, though, is the time limit they impose. They have two playtime slots: usually from 11:30 to 1:00 and 1:30 to 3:00. That's only an hour and a half of playtime, which my kids absolutely hate. Every time their playtime is interrupted, it leaves a bad impression. They enjoy the place, but once they have to leave due to the time limit, I hear about it nonstop. I personally prefer the Santa Clarita Aquatic Center. It offers unlimited play from open to close, but they do a quick equipment check every hour, which is understandable. It only takes about 15 minutes, and once that's done, you can go right back in. Here, you have to leave and buy a new wristband, about $3 per kid to return, meaning you're paying double if you want to stay longer than 90 minutes. This is definitely something they should reconsider, as I'm sure many people aren't happy with this setup.

We originally started our son in lessons at 8 months young but didn't continue on, I highly suggest once you start them keep going. Our son struggled with not wanting to get water in his eyes or even put his head under water but the consistency of coming day after day he got more comfortable. Since these lessons are free the Saturday of swim sign ups you'll see a long line of people attempting to sign up for all the lessons at once. My husband went early that Saturday morning, while I attempted to sign him up online. I eventually got through & he was one of 10 children ages 4-6 to be in the preschool swim courses This time we are going to continue his lessons at one of the year around pools open.

The people at the front are really friendly. It is cash only and they do require that you have a bathing suit. If your child is under 7 they do require that you go inside with your child so make sure you have an extra bathing suit! The parking sucks there I'm not gonna lie it's difficult to find parking there so I would suggest you come earlier to find parking. It is free but there is meter parking as well. The teachers who taught the swimming confidence to beginners are very friendly and help the kids build that confidence in the water. I would highly recommend to sign up the kids during the summer because the classes are free all summer long.

Thankfully we got him out of there by running with him all the way to the parking lot, using a blanket as a leash, and taking him to the shelter where he has since been adopted.

You can reserve these for birthday parties and other gatherings! It really wasn't that crowded and there are benches along the outskirts of the playground for parents to sit. They also have bathrooms and tennis courts. Really my only "complaint' is that trash cans were so hard to find! I'd love to see some more around the park.
