Positives include a fun pool with shallow and deep areas, water slides, and benches, making it suitable for children. Several visitors highly praise the lifeguard staff for being helpful and nice. However, significant concerns are raised about cleanliness, particularly regarding 'nasty' and dirty restrooms, some lacking trash cans.

This usted to be a great park that had a small pond , I lived in pasadena for 10 years , came back to this park to see the pond gone and removed, guess the city was having problems to maintain the animals under control , I still like to visit it sometimes

Nice place to bring the kids to enjoy the pool. The lifeguards are nice, plenty of benches to rest or sit, and nice scenery of the ducks roaming around. The pool has both areas, a shallow one 3’ and a deeper one 10’. There are 2 water slides on the 10’ side. The only downside I found is the nasty restrooms. Unfortunately, guests can’t clean after themselves. Dirty toilets and trash on the floor.

I didn't see any trash can in the women's restroom. And the water has some leaves and other stuff as well as ducks sometimes swim in there. But overall it's not bad and I mean it's free so oh well I guess.

This place is so dirty all around the pool area, the pool itself inside is even dirtier and the water smells. Only one lifeguard was actually doing his job while the others are sitting not doing what their suppose to be doing (enforcing the rules). I give props to that one gentleman but will not be returning, very dissatisfied at the maintenance that’s given to the place.
