I've taken my 10 month old son twice here now for their tot time on Fridays. My son loves the water and has a lot of fun swimming here! I like how they have an area for children and a special time slot for it.
I would have given them five stars if they had more time slots on their tot time. Right now, it is only on Fridays from 10-1130. It would be nice if they had another day for it. -

OK, here's the deal: my son LOVES this place. Why? Because it's a pool. And there's a water slide. Would he request to go there if we had a pool at home? Nope. That's the only reason it was given a high rating.
I have no qualms about the staff, and the fact that there is a snack bar is a definite plus. There has always been plenty of room on the bleachers for our belongings, and the bathrooms aren't as disgusting as you'd expect with unsupervised kids running around.
The fact that the park is located in the center of a low income area is disheartening, considering the cost of admission is so high. And the season ticket price is absolutely ridiculous. -

Look, I know everyone waited with bated breath for GAP's grand opening, but I have an axe to grind with its $4 per session fare.
When I was a kid, which, granted, was not all that long ago, pool admission was 75 cents. I'm not appealing to tradition here the way our curmudgeony parents do with gas prices and white bread; adjusting for inflation, that's like, $10 now, I'm sure.
But...$4? Look, when In-N-Out bulldozed into the KOHL's parking lot last month, it didn't kill its fast food competition; consumers can still pull into the McDonald's drive-thru and shell out a wadded buck for a burger. They have that choice. Swimmers, particularly KIDS at their parent's mercy, do not have this choice, because the considerably cheaper pool at Sam Brannan park was drained and paved over.
Nonetheless, it's a nice park, and the suffocating summer heat will swing the balance of likelihood that I'll venture back with my nephew after his Little League games. -

Fun place for the kids. I was a YMCA counselor and we brought our kids here. They had a blast, and I did too! My complaint is that this place needs to be a bit more considerate of the job market.
A friend of mine (who is in college full time) had to pay $500 for the training (which was conducted by Gauche.)
The job market in Yuba-Sutter is bad enough as it is. Makes no sense that they would make a young adult / teen (or their parents) pay $500 to get a minimum wage job. Is this their idea of creating competition for hires? -

Think if your time will be worth it...$4 admission for EACH session that lasts only 2.5 hours. If you want to go back for the second session you have to pay another $4. Yes, you can get a season pass for a family of four at $300 I believe, but seriously, this is the ONLY pool facility with a slide in Yuba City...I think you would be wasting your money. They're only open certain times and it's not for more than 2.5 hours.

I have two kids, A son that is 9 and a daughter that is 5, They really love going. They have lot's of life guards and a snack bar. I think the height limit on the slide could be lower, My daughter is able to swim and go off the diving board, but she is not allowed to go down the larger slide. It's very fun lot's of lounge chairs and seats and grass seating. A very Clean nice place.

As a mother of a toddler, I love the pools and the play section for the little ones. It's also great having Tot time on Fridays where the little ones have a little more room to play without fear of older kids pushing them out of the way. I've also taken the parent and me class which my son loves...although class sizes might be a little too large in my opinion.
