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?

Like I mentioned, been going here for 13 years or more. This place has improved, the room we have right now is recently renovated no more carpet . Bowling area looks inviting.

It is 3:30am now with no update as to when it will return. I have been checking online and there are no citywide power outages in the area. This is clearly a localized hotel issue. 5.

Reposting my review (and changing from a one star to 5 star) to express my satisfaction. (We purchased five tickets for Park Entry plus five tickets for the Obstacle course for 9/6/26. The website stated that the park would be open for the season through 9/6/26 (last day of the season) and we were able to purchase tickets ($250 plus service fees). When we arrived, the park was closed due to rain - no notifications, no contact whatsoever. When we tried to contact the office via phone or e-mail, we receive no response (the phone mailbox was full). Poor business practice to take our money and offer zero service in return.)

Just $30 for 4hr (3-7pm) on a weekday. + Line waits mostly short. - Water guns should be standard issue right at the park entrance. - Need more shade right before the bag check lines. We're tryna sign the waivers via the big QR code and wanna stand to the side to not block the entrance, but there's no shade there in the glistening hot sun. + Entering parking at 3pm was also fast and easy. + The staff at each ride entrance worked diligently and efficiently to evenly distribute passenger weights for every takeoff. - The waiver asked too much. You don't needa know how many pets I have! (jklol) Aug '25: + Refreshing place to beat the summer heat with friends and family. + Wide variety of aquatic attractions, including water slides, lazy river, wave pool, and the infamous Boomerango. Very fun! - Excessively long, boring wait lines. 45min on a weekday... - Exorbitant, unhealthy food and drink options at the Pacific Grille food court. . Tip: coordinate in your party who orders fries at this food court, and share with the rest of your party. Otherwise, if everyone orders fries, you'll have so many leftover fries to throw away. - That food court needs more shaded seating. + Glad not ALL toys are banned from water parks. ;) - We always enjoy using pool tubes in the Lazy River, but man they need a lot more. No matter, we still turned it into the Crazy River. :D - They removed pool tubes from the Wave Pool. (Fortunately we found other ways to turn it into the Rave Pool. }:) - Restrooms need more stalls. - Expensive $25 slow, crowded parking when it could just be $5, + but the free farther parking lot is just a 5min walk away. ;)

Bought the Residental All Access season pass for $93. The pass was regularly $109, but it went on sale before the park opens for the season. The park opened from 11am to 6pm every day. Can't wait for the Family Glow Night on Fridays from 7pm to 10pm. Felt the park was rather small. They had three tube rides (Devil's Punchbowl, Rattler's Revenge, and The Wildcatter), four water slides (Dusty's Mineshaft Racer), a lazy pool (Big Rock River), and a kiddie play area (Little Miner's Camp). Was able to go to all of the rides. The Devil's Punchbowl was the most adventurous ride. The Big Rock River was really relaxing. The park allows you to use the tubes free of charge. The food was very affordable. Place was pretty busy with mostly kids running around. There were plenty of picnic tables and lounges to put your stuff on. There were also lockers for rent ranging from $8 to $12. Overall, the park was really clean and fun. Good place to cool down and spend an hour or two.

See park rules before you go so you don't get mad for nothing. There were lots of slides. Perfect for teenagers and young children. Park hours were 11-6 on a Sunday which was perfect. Pros- Easy Parking, short to moderate lines to enter and on rides (early June) plenty of life guards, clean as you can expect a public place to be, friendly staff, food options and reasonable prices (card only/ no cash), live DJ, pirate characters walking around, not overly crowded, family friendly. Cons- Parking was expensive, Google Maps will try to kill you by telling you to enter the wrong driveway (the exit), don't order a salad it has no dressing offered (Weird!!!). People recording everywhere, dress code(some older women here to date?
