4 reviews for Arcadia County Park
This one's for the pool:
Wow, cold and seemingly clean water!
2 lifeguards on duty, 2 diving boards in the deep end (10.5 Ft) and they also have 2 separate kiddie pools.
This pool seems like they've got the routine down. Walk in, pay your dues, change, give your bag to the lockerroom keep, take your pin and go swim. The pool is a pretty decent size for a public park pool. I prefer this one to the Barnes Park Pool, which is always overcrowded and... well, more pee-filled, I think.
I've only been on Sundays and they close at 5PM.
I went here for a dog frisbee catching contest. The park was very big and nice--clean and a nice view of the San Gabriel mountains. There was a golf course next to the park, lawn bowling, multiple tennis courts, children's playground, a pool, and a softball field. Plus, there was also a wide open area with tables for parties and barbecues. Parking was also very easy to get in and out of it.
There was only one drawback to the park, and why I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 4 stars, which was the restrooms. I only visited one, but it was pretty disgusting--no paper towels, dirty, rusty faucets, and a very unpleasant odor.

I love this park, I met with some park officials for some volunteer opportunities and you can just tell they love their job.
And one other added benefit, this park is clean. I mean clean, there's less trash here than there is at my house.
And the dogs, you gotta love dogs.
Adjacent to the Santa Anita Golf Course, the Arcadia County Park is a great place if...
1.) You're into exercise and jogging. Beats running around a boring track around and around and around. I've seen people play volleyball, baseball, lawn-bowling and soccer here. No basketball courts unfortunately. I have a basketball buddy who works for County and he says having a basketball court here would attract the wrong crowd. bOOOOOOO!!!!
2.) Need to get lost for a while and relax. This park is spacious and doesn't get overly crowded. It does host festivals sometimes though!
3.) You're into nature and love trees. There are some nifty trees around this parks. All shapes and colors.
4.) You have a family. It's great for picnics, and there's a playground for kids too. In fact, I used to play here when I was a kid. There use to be this tall rocket ship slide. Sucks that they took it away. I'll never forgive them GRRRRRRR.
5.) You're a history buff. It's located on the site of the World War I Ross Field Balloon School. The City of Arcadia Museum is right next door as well.
