This pool is awesome. Great water and great chnaging rooms showers and bathroom. Cute separate splash area with water toys like youd see at raging waters with the big buckets and water cannons, and other play toys.

Lovely little park. My friend and I met there for lunch and sat (socially distant, of course!) at the far North end of the park, near Clark. Plenty of shady trees and nice and quiet. Just what we were looking for!

A very safe park. Safe? How safe? So safe that I once saw a group of 15 or so boys, in their late teens, conducting a sword-play class with (essentially) real swords-out on the lawn,visible to all.!. Shoot. If you tried to do that in North Hollywood Park youd soon be meeting your local law enforcement professional!They have a plethora of activities in the recreation center, which houses a public pool with limited general public access. Oh and no smoking within a nautical mile or else you gotta Pay!

First time here. Nice pool facility with 50-meter long lap lanes. My kind of place. Park with tennis courts, picnic area, bathrooms, covered and enclosed rec room, kinder care program building, and park grounds. Havent been to pool yet so cant give it 5 stars. Looks nice tho.

Rather fun wet play experience. Weve had several parties there. Two amazing slides, water interaction areas as well ad lap swimming options. It had a time limit of two hours which is rather lame. My advice is go further out by Santa Clareta. You can make a dAy of it

Limited time to swim during busy hours. They cut it down to 45 minutes... Unless youre in the swim team

Took my 2 year old and 10 year old. Paid $18 for 2 sessions for 3 of us. Well worth it each session is 2 hours and we stayed for about an hour and a half but we got there toward the end of the 1st session so it was nice that they just have a 15 minute change over for the play side and we hung out in the main pool while we waited. My 2 year old had a blast! He is sound asleep as i write this and we left about 20 minutes ago. Lol. We are going to go again. My 10 year old had a great time on the big slides. It was nice that he was able to do his own thing while i watched my toddler.

Been going here since I was a kid. One of the best pools in the valley. Very clean and nice people. As far as public pools and public parks go this one has my vote. Plus they put in new slides that look like a ton of fun

Nice park....grew up going there and took my son while visiting CA....playground has changed and did not like that the swings are not completely covered and were extremely hot and could burn a kid! Liked the old playground much better but its a nice park!

I have only spent time in the park so I cant speak for the other facilities. The grassy area is nice and shady, but there are a fair amount of mosquitoes and quite a bit of trash. The park is well maintained otherwise.

First time at this recreational center/pool with my little one. He had so much fun at the splash area especially the slide️! Worth the ride and time. Be prepared to get there early as it is first come first serve. Got there early so I was able to make it in at 11:45 am got tickets for the splash area. Sold out quick too. So I suggest you call to make sure the times and fees for both big pool and splash area. Burbank residents get to buy tickets in advance and they get a discount. Which is the only complaint at least for me its ridiculous and somewhat not fair. Dont get me wrong but at the end of the day we are all going to the same place lol the pool so why cant we all pay the same price. But.. Overall it was a great experience.

I use the Verdugo Recreation Area mostly for theyre swimming pool. I do lap swim there but when my kids were younger I took them for the recreation swim often. The pool in locker room got a remodel perhaps 5 years ago and everything is very nice and clean. Seems uncrowded and safe. Having said that, there can be a lot of people for recreation swim but they always limit it to a certain number of people and have a morning session, and an afternoon one for kids. I have to water slides and that drops into water that is Maybe 3 feet deep. They have other sprinkler type attractions adjacent to that area where the water is very shallow, probably less than 2 feet there for the real little ones. Staff is friendly and they have concessions and you are able to bring chairs inside.For lap swim, please check the website for Burbank Aquatics, they will have a downloadable PDF that changes about as far as hours and the course layout. They run a short course more often which is the 25 yards across the pool, at 50 meters, standard full Olympic pool distance generally in the early morning hours.

The pool is good, but it gets very crowded. The price of admission is very affordable. The splash pad will frequently sell out so get there early.

Review №26

The place was good, don’t get me wrong, but the lifeguards have some attitude problems. It was my little cousin’s 8th birthday there and the lifeguards gave you attitude if you didn’t stop running. If you gave them attitude back, they would call in some other lifeguard, which didn’t make a difference. They are old teenagers, maybe early adults, that have no respect for the people around them. My review is honest and I would completely ignore what they say. I actually did stop running once and this one lifeguard kicked me out. WHAT THE HELL!

This is a great Burbank park. An Olympic sized swimming pool is open to the public. They have classes and kids activities. The park is very safe. The jungle gym area is great for kids. There are shady areas to sit and drinking fountains that work. Very clean park.

My kids are enrolled in the Tots program here and it is fantastic. The program is well structured, with emphasis on working on letters, singing songs, and playing games to stimulate the mind of young children.As far as pricing, the Tots class is a remarkable deal as well. For two times a week at 1.5 hours each class under $100, it comes highly recommended. My kids love Ms. Cassie and Mr. Sam!

Its really good I just think maybe and before I say it the running rule not even running and they say SLOW DOWN NO RUNNING LIKE WHAT THE HELL

A fun place to enroll kids, play tennis, and just hang out with the kids. They have great swim instructors. A big water play area is available for the kids for a charge. Nice basketball court as well. Overall, while it can be better, its great bang for the buck.

Awesome facilities. The activity pool is so much fun. Our kids enjoys a lot there.My big complain is the new time schedule... I do not understand what purpose serves the change from 10 am to 12 pm to the new 11:45 am to 1:45 pm. It is right in the lunch time, nap time and those are the worse sun hours. Quite disappointed, we love the pool and the staff is nice, no complains there.Please rethink the first turn time schedule.

Review №48

Really nice pool for lap swim and clean locker rooms for a reasonable price ($5 for Burbank resident per visit, or cheaper if you buy a pass. $7 for non-resident at time of writing). Has both long course and short course hours, so be sure to check out the time options for the one you want. Sometimes with morning long course you lose some lanes to the Golden Road masters club or to classes. Sometimes in the afternoon school swim teams are using some lanes for practice. Even without those lanes there is still usually enough space to only have 2 (or occasionally 3) to a lane.

I only use the pool and locker room here, but there are many other services available, a great green space, gym and tennis courts. Sometimes the locker room is less than very clean.

To go on the water slide you must go early to get tickets. And you m you must take the swim test to go off the diving boards. The swim test is very easy all you must do is swim across the pool halfway very easy. Its s olympic sized pool so its very big.

I love this place! Everyone is nice and friendly. All the nay sayers simply dont know the schedule well enough and dont ask the pertinent questions so they are not charged for less time. The instructors are great the front staff is always helpful. Who ever had a bad experience here must have a negative attitude to begin with or are simply not informed and are self entitled.

My daughter took swim lessons there.....DOMINIQUE IS AMAZING !I WISH ALL OF HE STAFF WERE LIKE HER ...BUT , the guy working the desk acts as if he has no time to be interrupted from reading his book when I asked him to see if my daughters bathsuit was in lost and found . I wasnt permitted to look and he sighed like I had asked him to build a bridge from twigs just to go check...Not just once but on every occasion when he asked a question.

New community pool with a kid activity area featuring 2 water slides and shallow play areas that are great for younger children, I highly recommend!Kid activity area has timed shifts, from 12:30 - 2:30 and then 2:30 - 4:30. they have colored wrist bands so when your time is up you leave for the next group to enter, you can still go into the main pool at this point if you still want to swim but chances are you and your kids will be nice and knackered ready to go home for a nap!*Note* Burbank locals get a discount!
