Hansen Dam Aquatic Center in Lake View Terrace, California

“We came here on Labor Day. Itu2019s a huge pool with a grassy area, sandy beach area, and mostly pool deck area, all with very little shade. Bring your own umbrellas and beach shade, beach blankets and chairs. Picnics are allowed, and food trucks and ice cream vendors are also there to serve. Lots of single clean bathrooms and single changing rooms with doors, plus about 10 showers, all pretty clean, even on a crowded da”

“It's a bit surreal like a pool and beach in one with lifeguards and posts. There's also a big slide but that was closed near the end of september. I couldn't bring fins or snorkle gear for lap swimming, but if you go into the back there's ample space for lap swimming.”

“They need to update their website. It says it costs $30 to rent a cabana for the day, but itu2019s actually $45. And, they take cash only! So I couldnu2019t get one, but at least I found shade under a tree. The pool obstacle course, which is really fun, is $10 per session, per person. And because, they are cash only, I couldnu2019t get the kids a 2nd session (I ran out of cash). At least the Food Truck took cash or Zelle (no oth”

“Met some friends here for their sonu2019s birthday party. This place is enormous! Plenty of room and trees around the perimeter for shade, and super affordable even to rent space for parties. Water was clean and competent lifeguards posted at regular intervals. I didnu2019t get a chance to try the water slides but Iu2019m told they are awesome. Hope to come back here when my toddler is a bit older with more swimming experience!”
