Elk Grove Aquatics Center

POOL opens weekdays 11:30AM to 3:30PM and weekends 1PM to 5PM. Definitely arrive extra early if you want the chairs and shade area. Seating is very limited so bring your own chairs, picnic/blanket mats, pop up beach tent, etc. They allow to bring your own food just no glass. They provide life jackets! They have bathrooms, showers and lockers! They also sell food & drinks. They play appropriate music. They have lifeguards everywhere. Really clean and safe. The water does not have that bad chlorine smell (like other water parks I’ve been to). They have a cool little lazy river! Very baby/toddler/kid friendly. We had a very cool and chill experience! Would definitely visit again and every summer. In my opinion this place is better than Wackford on Big Horn. Admission for myself and my 2 boys were total of $24. Very affordable and nice local place to swim if you don’t wanna drive out too far. 👌🏻

Came here last Monday! It only 20 minutes away from Barbara Morse wakeford aquatic complex. Same price and staff. This place is much bigger. We were much prepared this time bringing out ice chest. More place to seat. This place had less toddler stuff but had lazy river. This location is more of a neighborhood. Less traffic.

New and clean! We went for our first time to this place with a 4yr old, 5 yr old and 7 yr old all not good swimmers. Due to their need for a life jacket the kids were only allowed in the kiddie pool. Which is pretty big! This is where they have the small lazy river and slightly on the side the large slide slides into (separate from the kiddie pool but right next to it). Also if you have small kids (life jacket wearing) a parent is required to be with the children. This place gets busy and I would highly suggest being with your child in the pool. Oh and to my suprise they have life jackets to borrow!!!! No check out needed once your in they are on an organized rack right up front. Note they are open mid day for recreation swim. Their website is very new and not very complete. Was frustrated navigating the website as it is combined with the wackford swim center and elk grove park swim center. It was pretty difficult to find swim times. I would suggest when you go there pick up a swim time schedule. They seem to be open 1130-3 (I may be off 30 mins for close time-we left early). When I glanced at the schedule they do have a few night swim days scheduled. They have a cool snack bar that has actual food like pizza. They have indoor and outdoor showers. Not much seating (especially in the shade) but they allow you to bring umbrellas and you can find a spot on the small patch of grass near the tables. There are no seats located around the kiddie pool. So bring your own seats if you want to sit near you kids in this area there is no shade in this area either bring your large umbrella!!!! Side note: super difficult to sign up for swim lessons at this sight. You have to come before swim hour times (which I kept missing-even 30 mins prior as they were preping for rec. Swim time). Go over to wackford swim center (as they are connected through csd) and you can sign up there. I signed up my 5 yr old for a beginners class for $66! 8 sessions for 30 mins per session. Oh almost forgot on a few times we've gone (and missed sign up time for lessons) they have a water feature right out side the facility. My daughter had the best time running around in the water sprout up fountains! She loved it so much after going in the pool she requested to take a run out front (which is great since the place allows in and outs!) The center also allows you to bring your own food!

Super cute area for young children to play. Weekdays seem to be less busy and a good time to go. The kids loved it! There’s shade but it is first come first serve. You can bring your own shade and picnic blanket as well as cart or stroller. Recommend!

New facility with some construction still in progress. The pool area is already completed at this time. Visited on a triple digit temperature day and had a great time with the family
