About

Relaxed community pool and gym, plus playground and tennis courts.

The 25-yard heated indoor pool at the Sierra Recreation & Fitness Center is maintained at 83 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature for the outdoor recreational pool is not explicitly stated.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This facility receives high praise for its excellent, accommodating, and helpful staff, who ensure events run smoothly and quickly resolve any issues. Reviewers consistently highlight the clean and well-maintained amenities, which include pickleball and tennis courts, a well-equipped (though small and uncrowded) fitness room, and impressive pool and park areas. The Olympic-sized pool is heated, features a spa and water slide, and is always supervised by lifeguards. The new park area is particularly noted as an ideal and affordable venue for kids' and family parties, with reservation options that include hosts and games. Family memberships are considered an exceptional value, providing access to these facilities, as well as those at the Montanoso Recreation and Fitness Center, making it a highly recommended local resource.

They're super nice and accommodating. We rented out part of the space for our annual meeting and we had so much fun playing pickleball and hanging out at the facilities. All the team members mentioned how great it was. The staff is so flexible and helpful. I highly recommend. The facilities are nice and clean.

The staff is excellent to work with when hosting an event there. They do whatever they can to ensure everything runs smoothly and are quick to solve any problems on the spot. I would be happy to collaborate with them again for future events!

As a resident of Mission Viejo, got a membership to this gym which includes membership at Montanoso Recreation and Fitness Center as well all for only about $700 for the whole family for the full year, which averages out to less than $60 per month. It is well worth it, as it has good equipment (although it’s a small fitness room, so not sure how it’d be on a busier day). The outside was bigger with plenty of room at the pool which is heated to 84 degrees. For the price you can’t beat it, and the tennis courts look fun to try as well, which they have 2 of.

I started a review, but not sure if it saved. Here goes again. As far as the pool and park area is concerned (only places I have tried so far) This place rocks! There is an Olympic sized pool, spa for those over 13, small water slide and a really nice park area. Every time I have been here midday the last 3 weeks, every since this major heatwave has started, the place has been empty. We have been able to get multiple lounge chairs under the shade cabanas with still others open. There are also plenty of loungers in the sun and covered tables too. The pool always has a lifeguard (or multiples) and the slide is open from 1-5 daily to those over 48". The pool doesn't have any shallow areas less than 3'-6" though, so maybe not best for real little ones. There is a real "deep end" though, so you are allowed to jump and dive in at that end. The park area is extremely nice and looks to be brand new. It is an Amazing spot for a kids party or even family party. The cost to reserve for 2 hours is as low as $100, includes party hosts, games they will do for the party, setup and admission for over 20 guests! $5 a head for a pool party at a nice, clean, local facility?!?!! No, it doesn't have a kids waterpark on par with Landeta Ranch or Great Wolf Lodge, but it is also is right in our backyard, costs next to nothing, includes a gym/tennis membership and access to the montassano swim/tennis/gym/splash pad facilities too.
