    Cameron Park Recreation Center.
    Ruth R.

    It's one of the nicer city park recreational centers I have been to. I've been taking my daughter here for the "Rip n' Ties" gymnastics and West Covina tiger cheerleading teams. The center is spacious and the Rec. center folk are very helpful. This center is a hub of community activities in the city of West Covina. They have various seasonal activities such as "Breakfast with Santa". Over a nice park. I probably would shy from taking children to play area outside too late. During the mid afternoon during school year the center is busy with teens and Tweens from The local schools especially West Covina high right across the street. When you are looking for swimming lessons this is not the place you need to register, it's at Municipal pool a few streets down. I made that mistake before.

    Super nice indoor basketball gym. I don't play though.

    This recreational center is just a part of the park. Cameron Park is right across the street from West Covina High School. The park is relatively square and small. It includes a softball field, a newly built jungle gym (as of April 22, 2016), and the Rec center. The Rec center looks super nice and has a great atmosphere. They have a basketball gym, ballet room (used for events), arcade. However, their table tennis and billiards are sad; they're worn out/missing stuff. We had to improvise on the missing cue ball and uneven numbering of stripes/solids/8-ball. I play baseball here on the one softball field with friends once in a while. The field is really nice. The grass is even and not filled with crabgrass nor dead spots. Unless you're upper collegiate level or better, you shouldn't be able to hit baseballs into the kids' jungle gym, because the home base is far enough. Nice park. I'll return, because it helps brings friends over.

    Playing Basketball here is super chill and fun. The people are cool and very nice. The woman's bathroom is clean for a public restroom. They have a lot going on here! Happy I have a place to play ball with friends.

    The Rec center is a nice edition to the park(tho no change tables in the restrooms) the park play set is small and in my opinion needs to be updated

    This is pretty much all that this place is good for

    Are the tables (under the gazebo) near the playground first come first serve or can you reserve that area? Thinking of having a gathering there.

Along the way, wooden gateways lined the trails, rest stops along the way and up to the turn around point. Only thing missing is restrooms but I can see why. Have fun enjoy.

It was quite dirty with people leaving trash everywhere (so sad)! A few of us plan to return and clean it (we didn't have the time or supplies to do a deep cleaning of the place yesterday). I will say that the only thing that was strange was toward the end of the day (approx 5pm), there were two elderly ladies walking. One of them had long curly gray/white hair with the most creepiest looking face (best described as a corpse with yellowish eyes). The family (and kids) who seen her all got very creeped out. It didn't look like they were going to film anything. Anyone else ever see her???

But due to work, I have only been able to take a few classes throughout the years. But I do love the variety of classes that they offer and how constant their schedule is. If you are looking for a Japanese school for your child to attend, they offer that. If you would like to just learn more about the community through the different cultural classes, just sign up for the emails and you can be alerted for upcoming classes that they offer. I've taken amigurumi (crochet), ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement), and a cooking class. All of the instructors are great and mostly volunteers. So it just shows you what a great community there is. They have festivals through the year and also help put on the West Covina Cherry Blossom Festival. They also host the West Covina obon at the center but it is organized by the Buddhist church which is based out of the community center. So there is just a lot of activities that you can get involved with.

    As someone who travels extensively & has been to many pools, in many states with my kid, this was…read morehands down the worst! Went for the recreation swimming, complete waste of time & money, thankfully it was only $5, so not much money wasted. Swimming facilities are ok, nothing special. But if your young child can't swim yet, don't even bother wasting your time. They micromanage you with a bunch of rules. No life jackets allowed which is INSANE. Front desk lady tried to gaslight me & say that's a normal policy in most places which it is NOT. She needs to get out more. I've been all across the country & not one other places I've been to has ever had that rule, in fact it's the opposite in most places--non-swimmers are REQUIRED to wear them. So basically my kid couldn't do anything but sit there hanging on the edge of the pool. I tried to walk around the pool with her on my back, again, like I do everywhere else & they said I can't do that either. I couldn't swim cuz I had to watch my child at all times just hanging on the edge of the pool. Not fun at all. Locked rooms are only 18+, so couldn't use that either cuz my kid is with me. Just a bunch of pointless weird rules & micromanaging that doesn't exist anywhere else I've ever seen. Save your money & time & go somewhere else. We ended up just going to raging waters where we have season passes, she can wear life jackets allowed, & we have way more fun.
