    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
    Brie S.

    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.

    Next to the spray park, there is a small playground as well as a skate park with a decent-sized ramp.

    This place is BEAUTIFUL. I want to like it and not be ungrateful…read more I signed up exclusively for basketball. There's 3 courts and plenty of space. First two times I arrived all 3 were blocked off for various other rec things. I go in today and one court is blocked off for PICKLEBALL. YES, they have an empty Pickleball court and lifted the hoops even though there's 30 pickleball courts outside. The 2nd court had 5 year old kids training with coaches. The 3rd court has Seniors fitness day even though we have multiple patios, an upstairs section, an actual gym that hardly gets used and an outdoor pool area. What's the point in 3 courts if they are the least allowed to be used? Their first gym floor was improperly installed and they just had the entire gym closed for about 6 weeks. I was excited to come back and play on better floors. I get there and the SAME EXACT floors were installed... the wrong floor type and the panels were installed in the wrong orientation AGAIN! lady at the front desk even mentioned it to me. They never put a clear coat over the top of the floor and they used basic sticker tape on top of the floors to create their basketball outline again. You can use your fingernails and feel the lifted exposed tape. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE ANKLE INJURIES IN THE FUTURE!!! You cannot have exposed, lift tape as people are sliding and stopping on them. I dove for a ball on day 1 and ripped a 6 inch hole on my hip because the floor is like concrete with no surface coating that allows forgiveness. Absolutely disappointing week 1. I go to the gym. It's low energy and the music is sooo low you can't even hear the lyrics. PUMP IT UP!!! Feels like a quiet retirement center at the moment. I'm going to consider ending my membership after the first month if they keep blocking off the courts. I will adjust my rating if they continue to make this place better. I am not a complainer but when you install the wrong floors twice and make it unplayable... you're going to lose the basketball community. (Fingers crossed) EDIT: Soooooo. I jumped through their hoops and scheduled time off to fit into their slim schedule to make their Open Gym on Wednesday night. I walk in and one court has half the court blocked off with an empty PICKLEBALL court AGAIN!!!! The other court was blocked off with some skills challenge. THEY BLOCKED OFF TWO COURTS TO PUT TWO RANDOM GAMES THAT WAS NOT BEING USED INSTEAD OF PUTTING THE SKILLS CHALLENGE AND THE PICKBALL COURT ON THE SAME COURT TO FREE UP AN ENTIRE BASKETBALL COURT!!!! How incompetent can management be???!!! It doesn't matter how beautiful the facility is if there's no common sense to what your community wants. We had 14 of us asking them to move the skills challenge to the basketball/pickleball court so we can play. Nope... we all have to sit there and follow bad rules and watch two half courts not being used. These tactics is EXACTLY why Legacy Sports Complex down the street wasn't successful. Another beautiful facility ran by incompetent middle management people who have zero clue about sports. I don't like speaking about people like this. But they're deserving to be scolded after non stop negligence. People on FB were complaining too and their friends didn't come out after they found out we couldn't play AGAIN! Absolutely wild. It's been one week and I'm already debating on canceling. How much money is this facility loosing in opportunity costs because of this? Lowed my rating another star again. I will raise my star rating if someone improves the common sense at this place.

    What a fun place. Beautiful views, water play, obstacle course, lots of slides, swings, swing…read morezipline, seesaw and its well covered. The bathrooms are clean, plenty of picnic tables, well maintained grounds. Shaded areas. Definitely recommended.

    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!

    My family and I stopped by for their half-day swim (aka the evening session), and honestly, we had…read morea blast. Before we even got in the water, I found myself wandering through the merch shop. I have to give them credit--they actually have some pretty cool stuff. I ended up buying a sweat- and water-resistant hat with a shaka patch on it. Needless to say, I left happy before I even hit the water. The surf lagoon is the obvious star of the show. Having waves crash onto a white sandy beach is a pretty awesome experience, especially here in Arizona. There were plenty of lounge chairs, umbrellas, and shaded areas, so it never felt like we were fighting for space. The diving pool was another pleasant surprise. There are multiple platforms to jump from, and the lifeguards allow enough freedom to have fun without making the experience feel overly restrictive. If you're feeling adventurous, they also offer body surfing and surf lessons. The amenities were solid as well. The bathrooms were clean, spacious, and had plenty of changing rooms and stalls. Lockers are available to rent, which is a nice convenience if you're bringing the family. We also grabbed food while we were there. No, it isn't five-star dining, but that's not why you're here. More importantly, it was genuinely better than I expected for a water park. What impressed me most was the overall atmosphere. It was energetic without feeling chaotic. My family had an absolute blast, but somehow the park still managed to feel relaxing and comfortable--something I can't say about many water parks. We'll definitely be back.

It was…read morealways clean, fun, and a place where we looked forward to spending our weekly pool days. Unfortunately, our recent visit was a completely different experience. The facility itself is still nice, but the staff training and overall management have dramatically declined. Many of the lifeguards appeared to be very young and poorly trained. Instead of calmly communicating with families, they were constantly yelling through cones, making it difficult to understand their instructions. Even children who are confident swimmers were being shouted at to either stay directly next to a parent or get out of the water if a parent wasn't within arm's reach. The approach felt more intimidating than educational. The most concerning part was how emergencies were handled. A child got a bloody nose, and several lifeguards immediately rushed over, creating unnecessary chaos. During the commotion, another lifeguard slipped while running. The entire pool was then evacuated for about 15 minutes, guests were pushed away from the area, and the fire department was called. The firefighters ultimately left without providing treatment, making the situation seem far more dramatic than necessary. We were there with a friend who works for the fire department, and even he was surprised by how the situation was handled. When I politely asked a manager what had changed, I was told they were implementing new safety procedures because they had fallen behind other municipal pools. While I fully support strong safety standards, there's a huge difference between being safety-conscious and creating an environment filled with panic, yelling, and confusion. My children have never been so uncomfortable or anxious at a pool. Safety should make families feel more secure, not more frightened. I sincerely hope the staff receive better training on communication, professionalism, and emergency response, because this experience was disappointing compared to what this pool used to be.

While there's a lot of pickleball courts, I've seen them full with a queue to play. I haven't seen this with the tennis courts or other sport courts. There's a playground with a play structure, swings, slides, a zip-line and more. It's on a hill so there's multiple levels to play on. There's a large splash pad for older children and a separate area for younger children, so less likely your toddler gets run over by a pre-teen not paying attention. The one drawback is there's not a lot of shady places to hide from the blistering summer sun. There's a large grass field but it's sloped and thus not useful for playing flag football or soccer. I believe it's built that way to watch performances at the pavilion. If there are flat grass fields at this park, I have yet to find them; they would be a welcome addition. At the end of the park there's a lake with a walking path around it. The largest ramada is on the lakefront and looks to 100-150 people. They have smaller ramadas around to rent as well. Overall, Gilbert Regional Park is a nice clean new park with many amenities. Everything is still in good working condition and there's a lot of open space where everyone isn't concentrated into a small area.
