Barbara Morse Wackford Community & Aquatic Complex

We come here often to use the community pool. We also used this facility for our daughter’s private swimming lessons. The staffs are friendly and the instructors know what they are doing. Admission fee is very affordable and the pool area is well maintained. However the bath rooms could use some help on busy days. I think it is the crowd that abuses it a little bit, over all my family really appreciates this community facility and all the services /​activities it has to offer.

My 2 ½ son and his 5 & 10 year old cousins just love coming here. What better way to cool off the kids while letting them burn off the endless kid energy. They have 3 pools, one with a diving board for the older kids, two other pools for teens and tots. They have a snack bar on site, but you can bring in food and drinks.
Everyone has to pay to get in no matter if you won’t be swimming.
Tons of lifeguards standing at each pool keep watch, and keeping kids from running from pool to pool.
Overall a great place to bring the kids.

Although this place is nicer than the other pools, it is not fair to charge adults who come to supervise the kids an entrance fee. Say no to nickel and diming!

Went for the first time this year last weekend, I know kinda late in the season. We took our 3 year old nephew he loved his play area which I knew he would! We all had a blast! The price is amazing for what you get. This is the best swimming pool in our area without a doubt :)

Boy, what a fun place for kids. This place has everything; nice grass area to spread out, large canopies to sit under for shade (although you have to share them), and of course different water pools for every age. They even have a wipe out water course if you buy the $ 2 wrist band. I must say of the 5 or 6 times I’ve come here, for the most part, the kids are pretty well behaved and have just plain old fun. Warning: it does get crowded on the weekends so come early if you want a good spot close to the kids pools.
The prices are reasonable ($ 6 for anyone over 5 years old) and you can bring in coolers of water or juice (only) along with munchies. There’s also a snack shack and the hot dogs are delicious.
If you have kids and want to cool off with fun in the sun, this is the place to be!

Took the kids here on a Friday afternoon. Being that it was our first time here, I was in shock to see a long line at 12:00pm. By my surprise the line went pretty quickly but I’m glad we left home when we did.
$ 6 per person is not bad at all considering the amount of fun the kids had!
They have a toddler area (This is where I spent most of my time with my 2 year old). My older kids had a blast in the other 3 pools with slides, waterfalls and much more. They even have a little «wipe out» obstacle course.
Next time we will leave a little earlier, bring a cooler with lunches and snacks and a blanket. They do have beach chairs in a shaded area but they were all taken by the time we got in.
We will be returning!!!

What a neat place /​mini water park to take the kids to. Unfortunately we went at a tine when one side wasnt operating so it was pretty packed but other than that its a clean, fun, cheap place to take the kids when its hot

Went here on Wednesday

Always a great time but Pool was cold!!! Girls had a great time on wipeout, pizza/​ice cream was tasty.

Pretty new to the Elk Grove community and I found this gem right here on Unilocal.It’s awesome. The pools are heated. There is a ton of shaded seating. 6 bucks to get in and hours of fun for the kids. There are a bunch of lifeguards who are completely attentive and stick to the rules which is nice. We will definitely be back.

I love this community center, not only do they have really cool pools, they offer many different activities for the entire family. My three year old is on an indoor soccer team and my 1 year old is doing ballet.

I take my son and sisters here all the time. They have many different events here, you can celebrate birthdays, graduation and many other life changing events here. The pools are deep and big. Great for groups and family. I take my sisters and son here every summer and they never disappoint. It’s $ 5 to get in!

Despicable. This horrid establishment is ridiculously overpriced, overpopulated, and disgusting. I especial despise the new addition «Wipeout» for it is extra priciness and taking up too much valuable space in the larger pool. They wouldn’t even let me use my new goggles for the reason of their nosepiece, the staff didn’t even dare to explain why. It also wastes more water even though we’re in a drought. I am a concerned citizen of Elk Grove, California. This is unacceptable.
The prices: expensive, way not worth it for the limited accessibility. Especially with the new «Wipeout» addition
The crowds: too many people admitted at a time, causing havoc and unsafe for many who cannot be seen. I have seen too many children pushing each other in line for the slide (whilst some even spitting off of it) and everywhere with a blind eye turned by staff.
The disgust: many people are seemingly unsanitary with poor watch for people with open sores.
I do not recommend bringing many here for the recreational swim. Worst. Pool. Experience. Ever.

we came here for a wedding and the ballroom was huge with a kitchen and outdoor patio. Nice place to have an event. Lots of parking I would certainly book an event here.

I am very impressed with this place. I came here on a hot Sunday afternoon. The admission for the pool is $ 6/​person. This is the perfect place to take your kids if you do not have a pool. When I first walked in I was shocked by how big this place is. It almost looked like a mini water park. There are different sections. On the very far right when you walk in, there is the kiddie pool. It’s about 2 feet. There is also a little playground with a slide into the water. The water here is cold. Then in the middle, which ranges from 3 to 4 feet. There is a slide here as well, but you need to purchase a wristband for $ 2. Then on the other side, there is the deeper end. About 12 feet or so. There you can jump off the diving board. There is also an obstacle course. It looks like an episode of, Wipe Out. You can only use the obstacle course or the go on the diving board with the wristband. There are a lot of life guards on duty as well. There are also tons of chairs in the shade to put your things or just rest from the sun.
For being a community center, it was surprisingly very clean. Will definitely be back with the kiddies.

And the summer begin. Local pool good for parents and toddlers. U can bring food. No soda or pizza! !! 6 dollars for 3 year old and up… good deal !! We will be back

Great place for all ages. This place have many programs and sessions for all kinds of activities from music, sports, dancing, wood shop, learning different language and much more. I enjoy the extra curriculum and the pool! Fair prices for all the activities. The staff are very knowledge in what they do and helpful. They are very organize!

I would have to say we are so blessed when it comes to this community center. Not to mention there’s a skate park, baseball fields, and soccer fields. Small dog park. They have so much to offer when it comes to activities for the kids. My children have participated in:
Tball
Jr NBA
JR NFL
Soccer
Swim
The registration process is so easy you can either walk in or do the registration on line. I suggest you do registration asap the spaces fill up fast.
The staff has always been so nice with the kids and keep things fun for them.
Prices are reasonable. It allows you to introduce a sport or hobby to see what your child is interested in.
The teen program looks amazing. Never tried it. but I have toured the facility and cant wait for my children to maybe one day participate in it.

As a community center, this is a grand complex that suits the EG/​SS area.
Armed with a skate park, soccer fields, dog park, baseball diamonds, 2 giant pools, indoor sports complex, classes for all ages, sports leagues, and much much more!
I think this community center offers a lot more than most of the other community centers in the area. Come try a class or league, I recommend it.
Pros: Product Offers
Cons: The Center is too packed at times
Stars: 4.5

What a wonderful place to hold a children’s birthday swimming party! Aquatic Complex is a great description of what you get when you enter this place. There are water slides for the wee kids and a larger water slide for older kids and adults. Water features everywhere… I didn’t count the number of actual swimming pools but their must be at least 4 or 5. The kiddie pools are easily accessed because the pavement slopes down into the water instead of stairs.
My daughter hosted a swimming party last Saturday for her two children and had about 50 plus guests. It is a bit expensive at $ 250 per hour but they provide all the tables, chairs, and 10 life guards to watch over everyone. We brought our own food, drinks, and ice.
The staff was very cordial and at our beckons call. If we needed anything, they were there to help us.
So, checkout this complex on Bruceville Road just north of Laguna Blvd. You might book it for a future kid’s party.
