    Splash pad
    Jenna K.

    Great splash pad area, I especially like how it's fully gated so my toddler doesn't run away. The water is pretty cold but there's a lot of areas to play and places to sit as well. Each of the tables are under a shaded area so you can put your stuff down and watch your kids while sitting down too. It was a little busy but that's to be expected in the summer. Easy to find and lots of parking. We went right when it opened at 9am and there were still quite a bit of people.

    Splash pad fun

    Small, nice little neighborhood park. Skate park is limited but the splash pad is fun for 8 and younger. Lots of green space, nice little playground.

    What a great find! I recently joined a mommies group and we decided to meet here. School was still in session so I was surprised to see how busy this splash pad was. Lots of shade and enclosed for the kiddos. We only wished that we remembered to bring buckets for the water. We'll be back soon since it's close to home.

    We love this place! It's fantastic! Thanks town of QC! My kids love this place. There is decent parking and some great places to sit in the shade. A lot of effort was put in to planning for parents. Bring some cups for the kids to fill and use in the water, they enjoy that!

    What a great place to take the little ones. First, it's free. Second, it's a great way to cool down during those hot Arizona summer months. I'd say the average age range of kids is 1-12. Some adults will get in there to be with the smaller kids. There's plenty of shaded seats for the adults to relax under. There are monitors on duty to make sure all kids are following the basic etiquette rules. We've been a few times and our daughter loves the place. She always tends to partner up with other kids her age and they all have a blast moving from one splash area to another. Make sure to bring bottled water or juice boxes during breaks. Even around all the water kids can still get dehydrated in the heat. Oh yeah bring sun block too. And towels. Be ready to have fun. There's a skate park within walking distance from the splash pad so the older kids can shred while their younger siblings splash around. There's a public restroom nearby with water fountains in case you forgot the water.

    This place is pretty cool. We take snacks or lunch and make a day out of it. It's filled with families and the kids play nice together for the most part.

    Fun splash pad on a hot day

    This place is kind of a hidden gem. I had no idea it was there until someone told me about it! It's perfect for my family because there's something for everyone... A skate park, a playground, and a splash pad.... not to mention seating and shade for me!!!! We couldn't ask for much more. If you are looking for a way to entertain a wide variety of ages this is your place plus it's free!!!!

    Splash pad, water, fun

    We always have so much fun here! It's clean, lots of space to run and I love that it's gated off! We had my son's second birthday here a year ago and he LOVED it! we frequent this place often. So many different water features for kids of all ages! I also love that they have multiple covered seating areas. Tons of space and tons of fun!

    My grandson loves this splash pad. I like that it has a gate around it. It'd be nice if the benches had a mister system or something.

    Kids loved it. Parking is a little tricky, bring your lawn chairs or a blanket to lay on.

    I can't believe I have a beach so close to home! I've been here a couple of times now, and I've…read morereally enjoyed both visits. They have a good-sized wave pool, although full disclosure, I haven't actually used it. I've spent my time walking around the property, taking in the scenery, and enjoying a couple of cocktails at the bar. They have a nice sandy beach area right in front of the wave pool with plenty of tables and chairs, and the bar is conveniently located close to the pool. There's also a smaller pool area if you're looking for a quieter place to relax. One of the things I really like is how many options there are throughout the property to stop and grab a bite to eat or pick up something sweet. There's always somewhere to wander off to and something to enjoy. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. It really is nice having a little beach getaway this close to home!

    We had the best time at Revel Surf! It was our first time visiting and it exceeded our expectations…read morefor a beach in the desert. We bought the Sunset Beach Pass (discounted price, 6pm to close) and came on a Friday night to beat the heat while avoiding the peak temps of the day. We actually had to reschedule due to a dust storm a week before and the staff was very accommodating. There is something to do for everyone here! Surfing, boogie boarding, playing in the water, cliff jumping, and even volleyball. So much fun! The sand and beach chair area is a nice touch to give it that true beach feel. Being a Friday night, it was very busy and tons of teenagers there. The cliff jumping was packed but still very fun! Plenty of space for older and younger kids to all participate together. Lifeguards are always present. At the end of the night they stop surfing and let everyone go the whole way into the wave pool which is a blast! Probably the most fun part. Only giving it a 4 star for a few reasons. Line/wait was very long even with pre-purchased tickets. Everything is very pricey! Lifeguards need microphones or something - yelling basically was pointless. Felt crammed in the seating area and beach part. No outside beverages, water, or food is extreme for families. Overall, it was a very fun night and awesome way to beach the heat! Would come back again for sure!

It only costs a few dollars making it a cheap way to cool off. The staff is very concerned with water safety and taught us some new things we did not know. My only tip is not everything is open at once- for example the bigger slides and lazy river weren't open when we were there so maybe call ahead so you know what you're getting. For us, it was okay because we were there with a toddler. Their smaller size didn't have a height requirement which was awesome!

The biggest difference was how much stricter everything seems to be now. Anyone under 17 has to take a swimming test just to use the diving boards, which honestly seems a little ridiculous, especially for older kids and teenagers who clearly know how to swim. Even the lazy river has become overly strict. In the past, I've always been able to enter from the exit if I was already right there, but now you absolutely MUST walk around and enter through the designated entrance. I understand having rules for safety, but some of these little things felt unnecessarily rigid and took away from the relaxed, fun atmosphere I remembered. The staff also seemed more annoyed and less friendly than during my previous visit. Nothing terrible happened, but the overall vibe was definitely different. I had such a great experience here two years ago, which is why I was excited to come back with my friends. Unfortunately, this visit just didn't live up to what I remembered. It feels like there are more rules, more restrictions, and a lot less of that easygoing, family-friendly atmosphere that made it so enjoyable before.

The mental health messages along the paths are such a pleasant touch. If you want something more leisurely, you can do an easy walk around the lake.

They are rib by volunteers. The trails are clean, dogs welcome everywhere, horses in designated areas, camp sites also available to rent which come with bbq grills and pits along with space for tents. Check out their website for the info. This is a great park to take your kids to the playground, go fishing, get your steps in, take your dog food a walk or have a date. Many picture perfect spots which are popular for graduation, wedding, and birthday pics. I even saw a couple get married on the bridge at sunset a quick 5 minute ceremony to not hold up anyone. Parking in a few spots and adjacent to the library for extra parking. 2 bathrooms I've been to are clean and maintained. Water fountains also there.
