Hansen Dam Aquatic Center

Fast fwd to today, finally able to take a vac day together. Packed lunch , drinks and iPads to relax in cabana get work done, go for occasional swim while we relaxed. Of course it was not that simple.

This is such a great place cheap and big looks like a mini beach with shade all around the aquatic area and a water slide , will definitely be coming back again..

Nice, not too crowded facility that is well-maintained. Fun water slides and places for everyone to relax on a mid-Summer afternoon.

2nd: We return to find this wasteland DOUBLED cabana rates from last season. A beautiful Wednesday afternoon and not ONE cabana rented by noon, clearly price gouging increase was a brilliant decision.

Never again. I wouldn’t piss in this pool if let in for free. Thanks for the relaxing day by the water. Guess I should have just drove to the real beach that’s open YEAR ROUND like the rest of SoCal.

1st: The swim suit police got me. Yeah that’s right the SWIN SUIT POLICE. Apparently knee high gym shorts not acceptable. No explanation. I should have said screw this place, we went home and Changed.

NEVER AGAIN. 3 yrs we lived 5 min away. At top of “when we have a free day list”. Attempted to go during first week of Sept, high 90s, NOPE closed for season. Seriously? Is this SoCal or North east?

Beware of mega-long lines ; arrive early.

The great swimming pools for the kids

Fishing in the fishing lake is pretty bad. never caught anything, but it is still a nice place to cast a line !

Remember your LA library card for a discount on admission to pool.

No floaties in the pool, even if they are built into your swimsuit!
