Like most community pools, it's in a beautiful neighborhood of Burbank and has some playgrounds and tennis courts near the pool. The locker rooms are kept up really well and the pool's temperature is kept at just the right level of cold and the chlorine level doesn't feel drastic as some places. The staff are great and helpful. The day rate depends on if you live in Burbank or not ($6-8) for lap swim and keep their schedule updated on their website. Bring your own swim gear as they are not provided by the aquatic center! Depending on time of day and when you go, the lap swim can be metered or by yards, as the layout of the pool can change (with kids swim, open swim, aerobics) nearby. Theres also a nice outdoor area for family events or kids birthday parties. Theres street side parking and they have a good size parking lot but it's pretty busy on weekends; people leave frequently and usually are waiting for your parking spot when you head out! A local who has been coming here for years encouraged me to try Mccambridge Recreation Pool (which I have yet to)!

I came here for the Memorial Day ceremony. I had never been to this park before and didn't know it…read morehad memorial plaques for people in our city who died in various wars. The ceremony included reading each of their names out loud and placing a rose on the plaque that matched the war they died in. WWII had the most roses and deaths. They had one of the fire trucks lift up a huge American flag next to the regular sized flags of the branches of our military which surround a pilar with a live flame. There was also a live band, singers, and flybys by planes in formation. It was a very solemn and respectful ceremony to honor those who died on duty. After the ceremony, I stayed at the park for a bit longer laying a towel on the grass under a tree. I don't know if it was just the spot I picked, but even though it was really grassy, underneath it was really muddy, like when I finally got up my towel was soaked through and so was my back. Then I got lost trying to find where I parked because the park is bigger than it looks and has 3 parking lots. I thought there was only 1, so I didn't pay that much attention when I walked towards the ceremony. When I tried getting back to my car I honestly thought it might have been towed. Now I know there's a parking lot by the building that leads to the swimming pool, another next to the swimming pool itself so you can actually see the water, and the last one is next to the tennis courts and baseball field. This doesn't include the parking spots all around the perimeter of the park. The park is clean, has plenty of playgrounds for children, tables and benches to eat at, and a public restroom. It's not the quietest of parks, though, since there are so many children and it's next to a busy intersection, like during the ceremony a trash truck and a random car honked their horns in support of the ceremony. Otherwise, it really is a nice park with plenty of amenities.

I've thankfully been able to get back to working out with the help of the kids classes and their child care center. My kids have grown to love the staff, it's been truly welcoming in that regard. I would also like to shoutout Jazmine at the front desk. She was able to talk me into signing up for a membership and swim lessons for my two boys. I was honestly all over the place when I came into their gym, hadn't done much research. But after a quick tour and conversation with Jazmine turned things around. Make sure to work with her if you ever get logged out of your account. I've embarrassingly enough have needed to change my password thrice. But yes overall 5 stars, I'm glad to have such a nice establishment in my area. The gym itself is nice, good equipment and cold. The other customers seem to understand gym etiquette. The last service I will recommend is their free food program. As a single mother of two I will gladly accept assistance. Again thankfully to the conversation with Jasmin, she was able to sign me up.

This review is long overdue, but I finally learned the name of the young man who made such a…read morelasting impression on my family. Over the last few months, I visited several times, and each time there was a young employee named Vardges who consistently went above and beyond. He was incredibly helpful, patient, and genuinely kind -- the sort of person who doesn't just do his job well but quietly elevates the entire atmosphere around him. What stood out most was the way he interacted with my young daughter. His patience and warmth toward her were sincere and unwavering, and that kind of care stays with a parent. It certainly stayed with me. People like Vardges make a real difference in their community, often without realizing it. I truly hope he gets the recognition he deserves. Thank you, Vardges, for setting such a wonderful example and for making every visit better than the last.

What was frustrating is that we were not allowed to enter the pool at all, and they didn't even offer us the option to join the class instead. We are local residents and cannot easily come back at another time, so this was very inconvenient. If the schedule changes, it should be clearly updated so people don't waste their time coming here. Very poor communication and customer service. And baby cried all morning because I promised him to go there.

Their professionalism, energy, and dedication are truly the heart of this club. However, my recent experiences have caused me to reconsider continuing my membership. The removal of the cycling classes was disappointing, as they were an important and enjoyable part of my routine. Even more concerning was the decision to store the cycling bikes in the dance studio used for Zumba and Body Pump. This has significantly reduced the available space, creating a cramped environment and noticeably increasing the room temperature. This would be challenging under any circumstances, but it is especially problematic given the lack of a functional air conditioning system. Members have raised this concern with local staff repeatedly over several months, yet the issue remains unresolved. It is frustrating to see resources allocated toward dismantling the basketball courts while such a critical comfort and safety issue continues to be overlooked. Additionally, the new parking system has added another layer of inconvenience to the overall experience. After more than a decade of loyalty, it is disheartening to feel that the quality of the club has declined so substantially. I sincerely hope to see meaningful and timely improvements, as I would prefer to remain a member, but without change, I will unfortunately have to reconsider.
