    Swimming pool, cabanas, slides and shaded umbrellas
    Claudia Z.

    North Natomas Aquatics is a beautiful complex with lots of amenities for all, even if you're just coming on your own to enjoy the sun, tan and take a quick swim or take the kids -- it's perfect! It offers two large pools, two slides, kids play area, cabanas, good seating and lifeguards on duty. The price to get in for adults was $9 and kids is $7, which is pretty reasonable considering it's not just a basic pool facility. It's very new, modern, and has clean restrooms. The pool was clean, good temperature water and not crowded during the time I went (one our closer to closing). I recommend!!

    This review is solely as a spectator at a regional swimming event and didn't go swimming here at all. North Natomas Aquatics Complex was the host to SWAGR, a regional swimming event. The parking situation was a bit tight considering the parking is also shared with the park nearby. So I feel bad for folks who were going to spend a day at the park. The overflow parking was across the street at the school when it was the weekend. They had a few options for restrooms which is nice to have. They also had showers to wash off outside. There were two pools, one smaller and the larger one for the meet. Without the tents, it's fairly spacious and lots of areas to walk around inside. The spectator area is covered, but depending on the wind chill factor, it gets awfully cold even when the sun was out. But it is nice that the bleachers were covered. Just make sure to bring blankets when the wind is cold or layer up. Overall I would imagine this is a great spot to do some swimming during those hot Natomas days.

    Such a great and clean swimming facility perfect for the whole family! Outside drinks and food are allowed, pretty limited lounge chairs if you arrive later in the day, but you can totally bring in an extra towel / blanket to sit on. I look forward to coming back again, super glad I found this place and decided to give it a try so worth the $9 admission price.

    Went here twice and second time was right in the beginning of school started and the toddler area was closed which is awful , I feel like that area should be open more because toddlers are not going to school and they are the main reasons parents go to such a places . Also idk why but water was very salty both times I was there, different aquatic centers were having regular water not salty, I think that's because it was not cleaned as often.

    We love this aquatic center! The main pool is large and spacious so even when it's busy it doesn't seem crowded. There is a ton of shaded spots to sit. I am so happy they have cabana areas, picnic table areas under shade and other chair areas under shade. They have two slides my kids love and the little kiddie slide area is cute too. I love the large flip flops, perfect for a photo. It is $5 for kids and $7 for adults, the pool is mainly open 1-5pm. I do wish they would start taking payment earlier, they wait till exactly 1 pm, but the line did move quickly. They allow outside food and drink which is nice. They have nice showers, restrooms and lockers. They have life jackets available. They also have a lap pool that is an additional $1, but the hours are a little different for the lap pool. We will definitely be back to swim!

    I just wanted to go swimming... North Natomas gets everything while we have a perfectly good pool at Natomas High that's been shut down for over 10 years(thanks for the reputation)!! Not only that but the cashier didn't want to handle the cash... By federal law(https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12772.htm) you can't turn cash away, they just don't want to deal with it... Cashier was completely incompetent & untrained & even turned away a regular swimmer for lap swim. Saw multiple people try to get in. The site is rigged. No where does it say they can't take cash... Or that you have to pay online(see photo), which is what the cashier said. I read the city's website. Please train your cashiers better, we still deserve to use the facilities. It's our tax money too, feeling very discriminated against... I just wanted to go swimming!! Ugh. P.s. The apartments use the parking lot & the parking lot is getting dirtier with used floaties, & beer bottles. P.s.s. We even called the city! Lucy thanks(311)... super absolute huge help... Not really

    50 meter pool, not usually open to lap swimming
    Brian S.

    North Natomas Aquatic Center is an absolutely beautiful facility that has two lap pools, an amazing kid's splash pad, and two water slides. It also has lockers and bathrooms. The facility is only a year old, and everything is absolutely immaculate. However, I feel like the hours/programs of the pool could be much better, and the facility is currently underutilized. There is a total of three lap swim times per day M-Th, two on Fr, and one on Sa (none on Sunday). These sessions are only an hour long, which is too short for many people's swimming programming, especially for triathletes. Also, the 50-meter pool was closed to open swim athletes (this was NOT notated on the website), and only three lanes of the 25-yard pool were open for lap swimming. All in all, "open lap swim" feels like an afterthought, so it didn't surprise me that there were not very many "open lap swim" swimmers there. This pool could much better swim the lap swimming community if "open lap swim" was offered in two-hour blocks (say, 6-8am, 10:30-12:30, and 6-8pm), and if both pools had lanes open for "open lap swim."

    Is this place really only open May through August, 4 months of the year?

    Is the lap pool heated in the fall and winter?

    Do they allow food/drinks to be brought in?

    I think outside food is allowed, but no glass whatsoever.

    They kept a few Aquacise classes open into October for the die-hards because we were enjoying it so much : ) I'm already excited for next year!

He is an extraordinary worker and deserves the best. After are great start, we were having a blast on the splish and splash of the water slides. When these unsupervised kids ruined our fun. They cut in front of everyone in line for stealth so I confronted them. This lead to them following me and my friend around the entire water park. When me and my friend went on double dare trying to get them away from us they followed us up and were repeatedly yelling at us. They then told the life guard that we cut them and pushed them down the stairs. The life guard, Declan T, did nothing about them yelling and even let them cut in front of us even Though we so clearly made it up first. This is when our day started getting worse these kids followed us back to our spots invading our personal space and yelling at us. Even with many life guards around no one stopped them. Me and my friend eventually got so fed up with there act we went and told a supervisor after telling him the situation he did absolutely nothing.

The food is good to some good classic food items. They have lockers you can rent etc. I have to give them 3 stars some parts of the slides you wait at or walking to certain areas the ground is really hot and I know it's a hot day, but people are burning their feet to. I feel like they can go around and spray it down with water or something you can wear shoes, but they make you take off your shoes and hold them on the slides. The double dare has no shade the ground was so hot kids were holding onto the side rail to keep their feet from burning. We will still come here enjoy the water slides.

    For my son's 12th birthday party, we rented a cabana for the 3 hour deluxe Aqua Park party package…read more I loved that all we had to bring were the people. The package included food, snacks, and drinks, and they let us store our ice cream cake in the freezer. This obstacle course is SO MUCH FUN. Everyone was laughing and screaming. We felt like Dude Perfect! When we got tired, there were so many options to recharge: giant chess or cornhole, watching the wakeboarders, or just sunning on the turf beside our cabana. I noticed a lot of the negative reviews are about the water quality. This is not a pool, so the water is not clear; it has vegetation; and stocked fish control for mosquitoes. Since we already read about this online, we were neither surprised nor grossed out. It was a fun day outdoors! The office staff were super warm, hospitable, and accommodating. Even as we added to our food order last minute (because I saw how active the kids were being... they were ravenous!), they flexed with our request. The pizza was hot; the fruit was refreshing. We felt so well cared for! Safety-wise, I'm glad we brought older kids, mostly very strong swimmers, and vigilant parents. The course is large, and there are spots that are invisible from the lifeguards' posts. We had to initiate with the lifeguards a few times because they weren't giving us any information/direction. (eg: Can we start? Where do we start? Any rules we need to know? Are you still on break, or can we go in again?) They did not seem to have a system for the lifejackets. They were sleepy and eager to clock out. This is the first open weekend of the season; I trust they will establish consistent group protocols as the summer goes on. We had a great time and mostly guarded our own kids. We are eager to return again someday soon! THANK YOU for such a memorable, creative, raucous birthday party in the sun!

    This place is really fun, but they need to get the algae under control. The inflatable park is in a…read morepond of water that is completely full of algae. I really don't think it is a safe level of algae for children since they are definitely going to get the water in their mouths. If they cleaned up the algae it would be a fun place but as it stands I don't feel the amount of algae in the water is safe for kids, The restaurant also only had one employee, who was the bartender, waitress, cashier and everything else, so as you can imagine it was very slow.

    Where to start?!?!? First of all, it costs $20 per car per…read moreday to park here. You would think that people staying at the hotel would get free parking. 3 Nights cost me $60 to park. The hotel is huge, the wait time to sign in are very long! We rented the "Grizzly Bear" suite - it's a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, with living room and a pullout queen sofa bed. We had 8 people in our group, 3 are 2yr old infants, we brought our own air mattresses for 2 of the kids. The cost for this room was about $400 per night; we stayed 3 nights. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, the bathroom in the king room was big, the other bathroom was small. The indoor waterpark area is crowded and was probably over capacity. If you don't reserve a cabana (Which cost $350 per day), you may not get a place to sit. There must be 3,000 chairs in this place - every one of them was taken. They have a short, lazy river, there is a kids splash pad, a kid's water slide - you need to be a certain height to go on the slides. There are water slides for older kids, there are large water slides for older kids and adults, there is a wave pool and a regular pool. Outside is a large pool that we did not get to use. If you don't have towels, they lend you towels, but you need to sign them in and out. If you lose one, they charge it to your room. Be prepared to wait long times to do some things like miniature golf, the arcade, to order food, get on the elevator, etc. - there are a lot of people here, it is very busy. In the main lobby they have a little dance party for the little kids at 6PM every night. There are human critters walking around and interacting with the kids. Inside there are things to play, miniature golf, a ropes course, arcade. There are a few places to eat, they are very expensive. (Pizza, pasta, hamburgers, corndogs, ice cream, candy) and then there is the Barnwood restaurant that is only open at night. For breakfast, they have a buffet - terrible food! and it cost $28.99 per person - but it is all you can eat. P.S. the food lacks flavor and quality - yuck! There is also Dunkin Donuts - they have dry donuts, and terrible coffee. One thing you need to know is they do not accept cash here. You wear a wrist band which is attached to either a debit card or credit card which these are connected to your room number. You use the wrist band to unlock your room door, and to exit and enter the parking lot. If you want dinner, swipe your wristband, want to buy a gift or toy, swipe your wristband. It is a great idea. Every staff member is friendly and kind. They all say hello to you, and if you need assistance, they help you. The waitresses in the Barnwood restaurant were very good, friendly, fast, and accurate. They don't take cash to pay for things, but we left several tips in cash - they deserve it. PLEASE tip your waiters/waitresses. We tipped the room maids by leaving money on the bed when we checked out - they do a fantastic job on keeping the rooms fresh and clean. If you want something else to do, there is a Bass Pro shop about 2 miles away, we also went to a Black Bear Diner about 5 miles away. There is not much else fun stuff to do in Manteca. Overall, it was a good place to go and stay. We will go back, maybe in the off season when kids are in school.

    It would be nice if they updated their website since we are in the digital age…read more They charge everyone the same price and if your kids are smaller than a certain height, it's maybe a few dollars off. The larger water slides were closed, which was the main reason we wanted to come here but didn't get to experience. Had they mentioned on their website that the slides were not available, we would have planned a different day or brought younger kids instead of the big kids. The cabanas were not held down by anything and it was a windy day, I almost got hit by the cabana flying. Maybe have them closed and when someone does purchase it is when you would open them up for the guest. I don't know if people really reserved any cabanas but a few were being used but closer to closing time so I don't think they really reserved them and people just sat there since it isn't getting checked in my opinion. I don't miss like that bathrooms are available in the front and back of the park. The front bathrooms in the check in area have lockers and showers. There is also a bathing suit spin dryer. It seems for the lockers that if you bring your own pad lock you can store your things if needed. It's great they allow you to bring in food but not in coolers but bagged food take out is ok. There is also food available for purchase in the back. Treats and desserts in the front middle of the water park. Parking is shared with the community building not close to the entrance. So for my disabled friends like me, we had to walk even from a disabled parking spot. The park does provide tables and chairs. The cement picnic tables in front are near the treats vendor store. I don't recall what type of tables are in the back near the food but there were more there and by the kid's splash pad area. I would like to return when the large slides are open but I call next year and find out till then.

    We've been regulars at Gauche Aquatic Park for years, and it's a solid local spot, though there are…read morea few important things to know before you go. The Positives: The lifeguards here take their jobs very seriously. They actively monitor the pools to ensure kids aren't playing too rough. For safety reasons, they don't allow parents to ride down the yellow slide with toddlers--there isn't a sign posted about this, but we were completely fine following the rule to set a good example for the kids. The Layout & Safety: One design quirk to watch out for if you have toddlers is that the 2-foot kiddie area connects directly to the 4-foot pool without a barrier. It can be a bit risky for non-swimmers who might accidentally wander into the deeper water, so expect to be right in the pool with your little ones the whole time. Crowds & Amenities: Weekends get incredibly packed, to the point where it's hard for kids to swim without bumping into others. Seating and shade are very limited, which is why a massive line forms before opening. You essentially have to sprint inside to claim a spot; otherwise, you're stuck standing in the sun. Also, note that the big slide isn't guaranteed to be running. It was closed during our recent weekend visit. Timing & Cost: They currently run two separate sessions (12:00 PM-2:30 PM and 3:30 PM-6:00 PM). At $12 per person ($48 for our family of four), it honestly feels a bit pricey for just two and a half hours of swim time. Overall, it's a fun park, but you definitely want to arrive early and stay vigilant with younger kids.

    Why is there no update to the website, you have to search for hours just to find the right…read moreinformation. Crazy how it is $12 per person now and yet you guys can't even hire someone that is tech savvy to update your info. I really hope there is enough people to agree that your stars go down because you guys are definitely not a five star resort to be charging this much per person.
