We came here for the first time last week being new to AZ and my son had a blast! He know calls this place the pool with the red slide and grey slide. We had such a wonderful time and were so happy they could fit us in with such tight reservations we got the last two spots!One suggestion that would be nice would be to open reservations to non-chandler residents within 10-15 minutes drive. That is where we lie and it is stressful having to just show up and hope there is a spot. I understand residents of the city pay the taxes to fund these types of places but even leaving 5 slots open for non-residents at each swim time would be great for us proactive parents.
My kids love this place!It has a large beach entry pool with a fun playground water feature.They are limiting capacity due to the pandemic, we were there when it was full capacity and it was perfect, still able to keep an eye on the kids and keep distance from other parties. The lifeguards are attentive and helpful without being overbearing.
Great place for families and adults. I love the large lap pool for myself. The surface on the bottom of the kid pool is soft so that is nice. Lots and lots of lifeguards everywhere which is good so we dont worry. Big bathrooms are fairly clean. Very helpful staff and super inexpensive. Great resource!
We are in from out of town and my 4 year old was looking forward to going swimming today. We called prior to arriving to verify hours of operation due to the holiday. We were simply told that yes they were open until 8 P.M. so we pack up the kids and drive out there. We were then told that we would not be able to get in until 1 P.M. This was at 11:30 this morning. So ok fine, we killed some time and headed back over. Go up to the window and was then told that there was a waiting list and there were 20 people ahead of us. Are you kidding? The man working the window never once mentioned a waiting list during the call nor at the window when we were there the first time! What kind of customer service is that if you dont communicate your policies to your patrons? The manager then offered nothing but to talk to him.... Needless to say, we did not wait. Communication is important. Work on it!
With the social distancing its nice to have it not so crowded. Feels much better that way and you actually have places to out your stuff. Cheap entertainment for the whole family. Highly recommend!
We love this place. My 4 years old daugther Enjoy a lot the pool time. Ty so much! All very clean
This place looked great, but when we got there for our reserved time slot they had all the slides, the lazy river and the big pool closed. They told my kids they couldnt play in the toddler area because they were too big. We left after 10 minutes because there was literally nothing to do. We were very disappointed. Waste of time and money! And I double checked, and there is no mention of closures at certain times on the website!
When my family and I want to go for a swim, this is our favorite public pool to go to! My kids love all it has to offer. It has a lazy river, splash pad, water playground, 2 big slides, 2 diving boards, whirlpool, and a big pool with few lanes for laps. There is also a food truck on the grounds that sells Italian ice, hot dogs, chips, drinks and pizza.
It is amazing. the diving boards are amazing. the lazy river is a personal favorite. The slides are so much fun to race on. I suggest to go for really cheap price.
Mesquite Groves is the perfect place to cool off. There are two waterslides, a whirlpool, and a water playground for the kids. For swimmers, there is a lap pool with diving boards, and a rafting lazy river.
Great for little kids. There is one big waterslide for adults, but Id say mostly for little kids. There is the olympic swim lanes, but they are closed for covid. But u cant beat it for $1/person entry fee if u r a resident.
We love going to this pool! Yes it can get a little crowed but we still have a great time. The prices are very reasonable. The lifeguards are very friendly and very professional. My only complaint is that with work we always miss the discount days and promotions. Would love to see them extend the offers to the people that have to work.
Fun and great for the kids at a great price we love brining the kids they have a lot to do for everyone.
This awesome public swimming pool is very affordable. We have a family of four had an amazing time. I have a 5 year old and 11 year old it was perfect for both age groups, to the diving board and lazy river who could beat that. Very convenient to have the ability to bring in a cooler and your own food I noticed some birthday parties going on, which is a great idea. I love the little food truck they had on the premises Angelos Italian Ice was just what we needed to give us that extra hydration. The lifeguards are on it and very friendly.
We love MGA!! My kids have been taking swimming lessons for over 3 years now. Their facilities are great, clean, and very accessible.Their staff is amazing and well trained.Ive personally used their lap pool many times. We havent used their lazy river, but looks so much fun. Same thing with their big slide, our kids are still pretty young for that.Awesome public pool!!
This place is very fun for kids and teens. Has all sorts of things to do. From waterslides to the diving boards, it always keeps you occupied.
Great facility. Lifesaver in the summer.
We went for a private party at this place and the experience was lifetime. The kids had lots of fun and parents too because there were many life guards making sure everyone was safe. I strongly recommend this amazing place. Its incredible!!
Mesquite Groves is an amazing pool. The staff is friendly & helpful. The pool is clean & fun. Thank you! #myfavoritepool
This aquatic center looks amazing in the photos - but do not be fooled by Photoshop. It was run-down, dirty, and tiny. The entire pool for regular swimming is about 10x10x. The lazy river is way overcrowded and about 100 around. The sidewalks are slimy, they do not allow kids to wear armies or water-wings, and the grassy areas might as well be dirt painted green. Check this off the list as a no-go.
This is totally worth a drive to! It is our favorite public pool and a great value. It has water slides for littles, big kid water slides, lazy river, splash pad, diving boards, lap swim, and a giant water playground kiddie pool. It is a couple dollars to go as a family and it is well worth it.It is clean and well kept, staff is friendly and engages to provide both safety and experience.Great for all ages!
Very nice & clean, friendly staff & life guards everywhere. Reservation is required & only 50 are allowed at once. 12-14:15 & 15-17.
Looking forward to hot weather so my family can enjoy everything this place has to offer. Clean and safe, plenty of life guards duty. Inexpensive family fun.
Our family absolutely loves this water park! It is very reasonably priced and very clean. The kids love the lazy river, water slides and park structure in the water! The diving board is a plus for my older son and overall best aquatic center in the East Valley!!
Chandler has the best water parks in the valley. Having visited almost every municipal water park in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Glendale, Gilbert and Chandler I consider myself a bit of an expert. Ill say it again, Chandler has by far the best water parks. And Mesquite Grove is probably my favorite.
I love swimming at this place. The kids always enjoy going there.
This place is pretty fun! Water slides arent that great, but this water park is very fun.
Last summer we spent most days here. We love the fact that there is something for everyone.
My boys love this pool; it feels like a mini water park!
Great place to take the kids to cool off and have fun.
This is a really good place to cool down especially if you have young children. They have a cool little water park for the children. Than they have bigger slides and pool with diving boards for older kids. They also have a lazy river. They also have a cool little snack bar. Its desecently priced at $1.25 for adults. A very cool place to stay cool during the summer!
This place is pretty awesome! Ive been here a couple times now with my boys, and they have a blast! They have a little of everything from a lazy river you can ride around,to the big splash pad with the huge bucket dropping water on you. There is a food cart on the weekends (not sure if its all week) with snacks and some food items such as pizza and hot dogs while they last (cash only). The place is cheap to get into as well, and overall just a fun place to beat the heat in the valley.
We went here often during the summer break. The lil ones love the playground structure. It is a public swimming pool so expect the expected, but the upside is that its less than $8 for a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids).
We come often for girl scout and dance events as well as family swim nights. Lifeguards are well trained and good with the kids. They are very attentive and focused on keeping everyone safe. Shower and locker room facilities are always clean. Kids love the slides, lazy river, whirlpool, and splash pad play area.
Entrance fee of $1 for kids and $2.5 is reasonable. There are 5 sections - toodlers pool and play area, small splash pad, lazy river, diving pool etc. We went on a Saturday and its was busy but not overcrowded. Lots of parking available. They have food truck tucked in a corner inside serving pizza, snacks and drinks. There a family restroom available, so makes it convenient for parents with young kids. Overall we liked the place and recommend.
Our first time here - so much fun! Staff was friendly and took their jobs seriously. We had our daughter and 2 nieces amd we felt safe letting them run around. Love the water slides too. The locker rooms were clean also. Will be back!
Had a great time. My church threw a party there. He loved the lazy river.
Fantastic place for the kids to blow off steam. Its inexpensive, clean, and a lot of fun. Lockers are available for your valuables (25 cent fee) if you wish. They even offer swim lessons. Go and beat the heat!
Fantastic prices, pools and bathrooms are pretty clean and the staff are great. Very friendly and helpful. Ive come here three summers in a row.
Fun place to swim esp at night. can get very over crowded. geared more towards younger kids with all the play equipment, etc. but we all go and its fun. lazy river, lap lanes, great dive pool, and a great whirlpool. also great prices to get in. highly recommend.
So much fun! Its always packed, but honestly, my kid loves to make friends so its really only a con because there is just nowhere to sit. There is a spot for small kids, lots of things for bigger kids and a section for adults. Beat the heat and get in the water!
We loved this and it was a great price to take the kids. They loved it. They had a blast and everyone was super friendly.
I went this past weekend and for the most part we had a good time. I was surprised a life guard was allowed to wear a thong as well as several woman as this is a family environment and city funded. I very surprised there is no dress code. There was a lot of young children including mine and did not think it was appropriate. Is this the new normal?
They tuned off some of the water attractions, not sure if covid19 related or just broken, but still fun
Great price, great design. They have everything you need from showers to life vests, slides, whirl pool, lazy river. Lots of seating. Clean and great staff.
Our favorite summer fun spot! Only 1 $buck$ per kid...water slides, lazy river, whirlpool, high-dive, Olympic swim pool, little kids shallow pool with water features. Its everything for every age!...at a crazy low price! Clean and well-maintained with a high-ratio of lifeguards.
Great pool for the entire family. Slides, a lazy river, all kinds of stuff to play for the little ones, lap pool, diving boards. The 25 yd lap pool is open Mon-Fri 7pm-9pm for $2.00 per day. Great place for the after-work swim.
My kids absolutely love it and so do I since their so young 5 4 and 1 the kiddie pool is amazing for them BUT only issue is it’s sooooo jam packed all the time it’s hard to find decent seats! Other than that we love it
I went here this afternoon with my daughter and she had a blast! Ive been in community pools in several states and I found this to be cleaner than most, especially there bathrooms.It is really cheap as well Im talking a couple dollars cheap.I thought the young kids that worked there were very responsible and really paying attention to the pools not messing around with each other. I dont know what some of the other people are complaining about there. Maybe they went on a day where everything was different or it was Opposite Day?It wasnt packed at all but not empty. My daughter met two nice girls the same age as her and they exchanged numbers. Theyre still friends today.The only drawback for me was that it was far from my home but thats not their fault.So, go... have fun! Everythings not gonna be perfect but for the price and the amount of different activities they have people have thre audacity to still complain.
Mesquite Groves Aquatic Center is a great place to bring your kids, friends, and family. It has many things to offer you, this includes a lazy river, waterslides, diving boards, and more!Works for any age and the pricing is very reasonable. The water park also has several shallow and deep pools. Splendid for those who have trouble swimming. Lifeguards are also available whenever theres trouble. Definitely recommend swimming here and bring others along!
We love this aquatic center!!!
What a great place to spend an afternoon! The facilities are in great condition and clean. The lifeguards are very friendly and caring. It gets a bit crowded so get there early.
Great place for the family! Yes children should wear goggles water has a lot of chlorine. You can bring a lunch box with food and drinks, but no coolers. there’s a circle k down the street, if you need something.l, and it beats spending tons of money in a pool at home, I recommended it.
I love being able to go swimming at night here. Its only on Monday and Wednesday that they are open from 7 - 9.Some of the lifeguards could be reminded that they are there to guard lives but most are great at their job.
Family had an amazing time here! Price is great too!
A fun place to go and cool down. The kids that work there are very focused on safety for all.
Super fun at a cheap price
Pretty decent water park. The water is a bit cold for my taste, but not everywhere. You can definitely find a spot with warm water. Various activities, for various ages. Some of the attractions: water slide, whirlpool, jumping pool, water splashes, lazy river, etc.
Awesome place. Lots of life guards. Fun and sun! Site says it’s 1 dollar per child and 2.25 per adult but it was two adults and three kids and they only charged us a dollar(total). Kids had a blast.
The kids loved the slides and whirlpool
Great place I love it
Fun place. Lazy river was relaxing and the kids love the slides. Great pricing too! Make sure you wear goggles though. Chlorine level is really high!
This is the nicest city pool in the whole east valley. It is more like a small water park. A huge lap pool, a seperate pool with a large kiddie play area, 2 water slides, spray pad, whirlpool, lazy river. Cheap fun for the whole family. Hours vary so go to their website for summer hours. They do get VERY busy in the summer and are often to capacity by 1pm so go when they open, or later in the afternoon around 2 or 3 and you should be fine.
This place is great! Tons of fun for the kids and the lady river is a nice touch and for the price you cant complain. This is a great family summer spot.
We had a great time here with lots to do!
The city of Chandler has done a really good job with these public aquatic parks. They are really convenient, I think that there are 5 or 6 of them total and they are really economical. The only drawback is that they do fill up quickly and if you dont arrive early you wont have anywhere to sit when you do arrive (unless you bring your own chairs). The pool area is really complete and apt for all ages. They have an area for those who like the diving boards (spring boards), lap swim, covered and uncovered slides, child play area, wading pool, whirlpool, lazy river and general swimming areas. This is a must for those visiting in the summer and for those who have family with small children who come to visit. Highly recommended.
Best place to spend all day or just a few hours. You can bring in your own lunch and drinks and make a day of it or enjoy snacks from the snack stand. You cant beat the price of admission and all day fun for next to nothing. Absolutely love to bring visitors from out of state that have kids so they can enjoy a fun day without the worry or overcrowding of a larger water park.
I didnt know about this place until recently. Wish I did because the closest other public pool is in Mesa or Coolage.The facility is large with plenty to do. The kids love the whirlpool and the lazy river. Multiple water slides for big kids and small slides for the little ones. The price of admission was less than what I expected. I definitely recommend this spot for family fun.
It was fun my son loved it. Great staff and very clean
Always have a good time here.Dont bring big coolers, they only allow coolers 7X7X9 and smaller but you can bring your own water
We hosted my sons birthday party here! What a fantastic day! The kids had a blast! Lots to do!
This place is amazing. Take your kids here, super cheap and tons of fun for summer months
Fun place to go during the summer. The price is right and can get a very busy but FUN for the kids/family.
Great hours and lots of fun options for everyone. Clean and reasonably priced.
Great for smaller kids ages 3-13ish. Not to much for older kids to do.
My kids love it and the price for admission is affordable! They have 2 slides, a lazy river with water buckets, 2 pools, a kiddie area, a splash pad, and a whirlpool manned by a lifeguard. Its pretty neat
Very inexpensive. Theyve added more shade. Ground still gets hot as expected. Great for my kids.
Great place to visit! Was a 22mile drive, each way for us from Mesa, but worth every minute of travel! Very fun water slides, vortex, lazy river, diving boards, etc. Nice snack bar, changing rooms & parking too!
My seven year old loves the water and this place is amazing. With a splash area, a play pool, two water slides, a lazy river, two diving boards, lap swim, and a full depth swimming pool we can be entertained for hours. Its really a small water park. It gets crowded, especially on discount days, but weve never felt overwhelmed or had to wait more than 8 or 9 minutes for anything.The lazy river is the craziest. My daughter prefers to ride with me despite being an excellent swimmer. Shes short for her age and cant reach the bottom while up in the tube so she has no control while on the lazy river. It can be a little overwhelming for her while being bounced around by more aggressive tubers.I dont have any problems. I am tall enough to put my feet down and strong enough to fight through the crowd of tubes.Aside from the lazy river, she can do everything independently. We often run into height restrictions at other pools, but shes tall enough for everything here. (Short kids everywhere, rejoice!)There is a decent amount of shade. There are lots of chairs and Ive not seen anything but courtesy from other patrons. The lifeguards are some of the best Ive seen. Theyre well trained and responsible. (You know how some places the lifeguards are so busy chatting and flirting that you feel like youre interrupting them? Not here. These guys are super professional!)You can bring in food, water, chairs, shade- they basically accommodate anything reasonable.All in all, this place is amazing. It doesnt have everything youd find at say, Sunsplash, but you wont have to take out a second mortgage to afford to go, either. There is plenty to keep us occupied and we always have a great experience. Thank you, City of Chandler!!
Kids absolutely loved it...for those going please please make sure the wear flip flops for everyone esp. The little ones...the ground gets super hot..i was sad to see a couple of adults with tiny kids that had no shoes on their feet..alot of little ones had those aqua socks which in my opinion is amazing for the little kiddies. Arm floaties are not allowed but they do have free life vests for the little ones to use When we went last weekend there was a food truck there with hot dogs and pizza... however it would be cheaper to bring your own food.....lockers are available to use for a quarter so you can lock up your keys etc. We will be going back this weekend.
Dirt cheap and really fun. Its no Sun Splash, but for the price and convenience this one gets a full 5 stars. Two good slides (min height 42), lazy river, great splash pad, vortex, diving board, open pool and swim lanes.
Lots of fun, great price point. A little busy but my family had a blast. My favorite public pool by far.
One of the best public pools I have ever seen. Super cheap too. Be warned, it can get very crowded there, so much so they can hit capacity and turn people away.
This place is fantastic. Its very inexpensive and theres plenty for the kids to do. They have a blast for hours.
Had a great time with my family. Great place to cool down and keep the kids entertained.
Enjoyed the three hours we were there.Lived all the different water options we had. So much fun.
We took a group of 30 kids and they had a blast. Theres slides, lazy river, lap pool and other play areas. Nice place
Took my kids here. Cant beat it. All the amenities are excellent. It does get really busy at times. I just visited today and there wasnt much seating in the shade but we found some. The kids didnt get to ride the lazy rectangle because it was packed but thats what I expected. They got on the slides and played around in everything else except the competition pool because it was closed right after we got there. This may seem like a negative review but it isnt. My advice is that on the weekends it will get busy. Its over 100 and everyone is trying to get out of the heat and get their kids off their Xbox for a few hours just like me. If you check the timeline on the Google overview, it will give real time data on how busy they are. My only question is can I bring in beach chairs to sit on because there werent any available? Thank you for this great place and the staff is super nice. From the front door to the lifeguards, you wont find anyplace that has a better staff.
This place is amazing! Perfect for the whole family and very affordable. Our go to public pool!
Place is great!! ... but not cool we made it late on Fridays opening free hrs an got sent away . Do recommend to be here a little early on free swim day . Or just go during regular hrs . But does get packed
