Great location for weddings or any special functions/ events. The staff here are attentive and friendly. That said, it seems quite often we would order something simple and it would take forever for the kitchen to prepare them - even when it is something simple, like a scoop of ice cream! Overall it is a very beautiful place - especially the grounds and gardens around the club house. It's a private club and many residents in the community are members so if you know anyone, you can get a guest pass to come check it out!

I recently rejoined the MV Community Recreation with my family, and we have a full facility…read moremembership because we enjoy playing pickleball together. One challenge we've consistently run into is the reservation system. We don't always have the ability to plan several days in advance or wait for email confirmation on whether a time slot is available. For us, being able to walk in--especially in the evenings--works best. On several occasions, we've arrived around 7:50 PM and noticed that the courts were clearly empty, yet we were still met with resistance from staff. While I understand that courts close shortly before the facility closes, it's frustrating to be turned away or made to feel unwelcome when there is visible availability. We're paying members and simply want to make reasonable use of the facilities. A bit more flexibility or a more accommodating approach from staff--especially when courts are open--would go a long way in improving the experience

I signed up to Montanoso Recreation Center in Mission Viejo because my friend referred me and I am…read morehappy they did! The staff is especially courteous and does a pristine job keeping the facilities clean and in order. My experience at Montanoso was different than at other gyms because the other members were all so friendly.

One feature wasn't working but it was ok for us. There was still paint tape on one of the fountains on the ground that we removed so the feature could work properly. The pool was refreshing. They were doing their pumpkin diving event at 1pm so rec swim closed early. We were there for about 2 hours. It was $25 ($10 per adult and $5 for the kid), and we had a great time. No one else was in the splash pad with us from 11am-12pm. Staff was helpful and lifeguards were on duty. Bathroom was clean.

An Amazing Community for Families and Fitness! Joining the…read moreYMCA has been one of the best decisions for our family! From the moment you walk through the doors, you are greeted with warmth. Lisa and Daryl at the front desk are exceptionally kind, and it speaks volumes that they take the time to know me by name, along with so many other members. My three children absolutely love going to the Kid Zone! The teachers are wonderful, incredibly kind, and know each child by name. They always have all sorts of new activities and fun crafts for the kids to do every single day. Knowing my little ones are happy, safe, and well-cared for makes my time at the gym completely stress-free. The workout classes are phenomenal. All of the instructors are super skilled, supportive, and truly take the time to get to know everyone in the class, helping to build a genuine sense of community. Beyond the staff, the members themselves are wonderful--everyone is so kind, constantly greeting each other, and sharing compliments. I would recommend the YMCA to every single person interested in joining a gym, especially families with young kids! It's a welcoming, vibrant community where both parents and children can thrive.

My son uses the larger one on Montanoso (SP?) and he favors that that due a larger variety of machines. At La Sierra , the weight machines are new, and there are free weights. Duplicate bikes, stair climbers, and tread mills round out the equipment. If you like classes, those are available at the Montanoso facility. A nicely kept patio is adjacent pluse a large pool, with cabanas and table seating. Pickle ball courts are available as well. The amenities are well worth more than the $30.00 monthly fee I pay. (Retired, so maybe that's why it's so low?) Check it out.

We visited the Sierra rec center pool on Father's Day, 2026. The lifeguards made the swimming experience very annoying and unpleasant. We had called earlier and the receptionist said they had a water slide. When we arrived, we found 2 lifeguards standing around chatting while no more than 10 people swam in a tiny little cordoned off "rec swim" area while one of the 10 swam laps and essentially had 85% of the gigantic pool to himself. One of the lifeguards (a shorter portly gentleman, dungeons and dragons type) said the slide is closed Sunday because they didn't have the staff to man it...he said this as lifeguard 2 decided to join in our conversation because he had nothing else to do. Then we learn that even if we are with our kids, they can't get in the hot tub....ok. We were there a total of 2 hours and the dungeons and dragons lifeguard came to talk to us 4 times about any number of petty little issues - none of which amounted to safety issues. Then they kicked everyone out 15 minutes early so they could go home. D & D lifeguard said they closed early so people had the chance to "use the showers"...I'm sure it would be a huge deal for these people to have to stay until 5:05-5:10...this place is lame, we will tell everyone we know and we won't be back.

Coach Margarita is timely, caring, responsive and super detailed patient with her coaching and training. Starting from total beginners, kids, adults varying different levels. Also she does classes for groups, individuals or even hitting sessions if you want to have a partner to play with. Normally it is in Irvine or Newport area for Orange county but of course it can be customized if needed. I booked theses classes (lessons) through Classpass and it was great having the confirmation. She brings about 100 tennis balls along with rackets if you need but of course you can bring your own racket as well. Highly recommend this relaxed totally tailored approach to Tennis lessons! Super low pressure fun learning environment! Check out the photos.

There's 4 baseball fields, so when it's baseball season I can hit up the snack bar. May I mention this snack bar is top notch, it even has Chick-fil-a sandwiches. By the baseball fields are a few propane BBQs as well... I haven't figured out why at the adult baseball games every night, someone doesn't throw on some burgers or something. Around the park is a trail. The trail is overlooking a view of treetops and nature. That's my favorite part of the park. I drive from Huntington Beach twice a week, and because of how nice the park is, even after a year, I look forward to it still.
