    What exactly am I paying for?…read more Seriously. I purchased a membership for lap swimming, but the reality is that members are constantly competing for access to THREE lanes. Not an entire pool. Three lanes. And apparently the expectation is that up to FOUR adults can share a single lane. Four. There was a day when a third person joined my lane and that was RIDICULOUS. Four people sharing one lap lane is not a quality swimming experience. It's overcrowding disguised as a membership benefit. Then there are the limited hours. Which I was initially fine with until everything else. There are the swim lessons and you will be removed from a lane if the instructor needs the lane you are already in. Then there is the jacuzzi, which seems to spend more time closed than open. I swim three times a week and I honestly can't remember the last time it was available. At this point, why advertise it as an amenity at all? And today I find... the facility is closed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for a swim meet. The only notice given was a piece of paper taped to the door. A piece of paper. In 2026. Members provide phone numbers and email addresses when signing up. Why collect that information if you're not going to communicate closures that eliminate nearly half a week's worth of access? No email. No text. No notification. Just drive over and find out when you get there. The most frustrating part is that none of these issues exist by themselves. It's the combination of all of them. Limited hours. Limited lanes. Overcrowded lanes. Frequent jacuzzi closures. Priority given elsewhere. Unexpected facility closures. Poor communication. Yet the membership price suggests you're paying for a premium aquatic facility. You're not. For less money, I can join a gym with a lap pool, a functioning jacuzzi, longer operating hours, fitness equipment, and significantly better availability. City of La Mirada wants to charge premium membership fees while delivering a consistently limited experience. The entire operation feels incredibly cheap. Cheap communication. Cheap availability. Cheap member accommodations. But somehow not cheap membership prices. If members are expected to share three overcrowded lanes, lose access for entire weekends, receive no meaningful communication, and watch amenities remain closed for weeks at a time, then management needs to answer a very simple question: What exactly are we paying for?

They're friendly, helpful, and are a big part of why I continue coming back. I've even recommended this facility to several friends and family members because, overall, it's a great place to bring kids and spend the day. Unfortunately, one employee continues to ruin what should be an enjoyable experience every time I visit. No matter how polite I am, she approaches me or others with an attitude, speaks in a disrespectful tone, and seems more interested in arguing than helping guests. If you're the first person greeting people as they walk in, customer service should be a priority. A smile and respectful communication go a long way. The most frustrating part is that I know the facility's dress code. I even bring extra swim shorts for children who come with me in case their parents forget proper swim attire. During my most recent visit, she insisted my swim shorts were gym shorts, even after I repeatedly explained they were purchased from the swimwear section specifically for this pool. On my very first visit, I had already spoken with the manager about these exact shorts, and he came to the understanding they were swimwear. I purposely buy longer swim shorts because I prefer more coverage around children at a public pool--not because I'm trying to break the rules. And they sell thousands of types of swimwear just because I don't buy a cheap skimpy bottom and have my buttcheeks out don't make my swim shorts NOT swim shorts . Why would they be in the swim section if they weren't? they wouldn't be . I have a few gym shorts that look like swim shorts but I don't wear those because they're NOT swim shorts and they weren't purchased from the swim section What made the situation even more frustrating was watching several other guests wearing cotton shorts walk right in without anyone saying a word, while I was the one being questioned despite wearing actual swimwear. I've also seen children in the pool wearing cotton T-shirts that are clearly not intended for swimming, but I keep my mouth shut because it's not my place to police other guests. If I wanted to nitpick and point out every rule violation I saw, I easily could--but I don't. That's why it was so frustrating to feel like I was being singled out over something that had already been addressed with management. If the rules are going to be enforced, they should be enforced fairly and consistently for everyone--not selectively. This also wasn't my first negative interaction with this employee. During a previous visit, she took my young niece out of the pool and started walking toward the front entrance with her without ever informing me what was happening. I was right there, calling out to her, but instead of stopping to explain what she was doing, she kept walking. Only after I got her attention did she finally turn around and tell me she was taking my niece to have her height checked again. As the adult responsible for my niece, I found that extremely upsetting. A child should never be taken away from the pool area without first communicating with the adult supervising them. I immediately spoke with the manager because I didn't think that was appropriate. He tried to make the situation right by asking her to apologize/ explain, but before she even came over,( I observe everything face expressions to body language to what even was said to see if I'm taken seriously ) I overheard her laughing and giggling as if the entire situation was a joke. She acted like she couldn't believe she even had to apologize. When she finally did, it didn't feel sincere at all. Ever since that day, every interaction I've had with her has been just as unprofessional. To make matters worse, after my most recent interaction, I asked the manager for the employee's name so I could address my complaint appropriately. He refused to provide it, which was disappointing. It made me feel like management was more interested in protecting the employee than addressing a legitimate concern from a guest. Because of that, I have no choice but to leave my feedback about the facility as a whole instead of the individual responsible. I've only been coming here for about a month, but in that short amount of time I've brought several friends and family members because I genuinely thought this was a wonderful place. The facility itself is great, and the majority of the staff are fantastic. That's exactly why this experience has been so disappointing. One employee's repeated attitude, lack of professionalism, and inconsistent treatment of guests shouldn't outweigh all the positive things this facility has to offer. I sincerely hope management takes this feedback seriously. Better training, accountability, and professionalism would go a long way. Guests deserve to be treated with respect, and rules should be applied fairly and consistently to everyone.

    I absolutely love Peter F. Schabarum Regional Park! It's the perfect quick escape -- close enough…read moreto civilization for convenience, yet far enough to leave the hustle and bustle of traffic and city life behind. Right now the cherry blossoms are in full, breathtaking bloom, turning parts of the park into a dreamy pink wonderland. The wildlife is thriving too: squirrels galore that are so bold they'll walk right up to your feet if you sit still and stay calm. On warmer days I've spotted rattlesnakes scurrying across the trails, so I always recommend staying in the middle of the paths as a safety precaution. From the main entrance at Colima Road, you can choose the paved walkway or head straight for the dirt trails depending on your mood. I usually make my way toward the horse stables and equestrian area -- watching the horses get fed or running around their enclosures is one of my favorite parts. Just be mindful of the occasional big mounds of horse droppings on the trails; it's a small price to pay for the beauty. The park is generally very clean, with plenty of trash cans scattered throughout. There are numerous benches, picnic areas, fire pits perfect for groups, a children's playground, and even a seasonal creek with several charming wooden bridges crossing directly over it (though the water is pretty dry now that the rainy season is over). You'll also notice signs posted along the trails warning about bobcats and mountain lions. I've been coming here regularly for six months and haven't heard or seen any myself, but I've seen quite a few hikers carrying pepper spray as a precaution. Just be safe out there. Weekends get busy with families celebrating birthdays and enjoying the outdoors, but it's all part of the lively atmosphere. For dog lovers, there are two fantastic off-leash dog parks right near the front entrance -- one for large dogs and one for medium/small dogs. Outside of those areas, dogs must be on leash per the signs. The hilltop trails offer absolutely stunning panoramic views that make every visit worthwhile. My only heads-up: the park is officially closed on Mondays and Tuesdays (per LA County rules), but a lot of locals park across the street at the nearby mall and walk in through the gates anyway. If you're in the Rowland Heights/Hacienda Heights area and looking for a beautiful regional park with trails, nature, horses, cherry blossoms, and those lovely wooden bridges over the creek, I highly recommend Schabarum. Just bring water, wear good shoes, keep an eye out for those snakes in the summer, and stay aware on the trails! 5/5 -- I'll definitely be back soon.
