North Natomas Aquatic Complex

Beautiful swim complex, 50 meter and large 25 yard pool. Slides and smaller pools for kids, nice locker and showers. Only disappointed was the water was warm, possibly 84 degrees, maybe this was an unusual day ?

So my family and I have visited quite a few aquatic center around Sacramento including Elk Grove and must say… this location is our favorite (close 2nd is Folsom). Yes, it is crowded on extremely hot days and weekends. If you want to avoid the crowds, go on a day when it’s not scorching hot (i.e. upper 90’s/100’s) try to go when it’s low 90s, the staff informed us that it’s usually not busy. Other than the crowds, the staff is amazing, always super friendly, and helpful. The price for entry is affordable. There’s plenty of life vests for all ages/sizes. The facilities are clean and easy to use. I highly recommend this location for families. Enjoy!

That pool is nice and big the hole place is every clean . 2 pools are great.

Oh I thought I'd written a review of this place already but I guess not. It's really nice! What can I say? My kids got a free swim ticket here each from summer reading program at the library and each tix admits an adult and a child so all of us got to go and we went the very last Sunday that they were opened last season and it was in October(!) as it was still so hot, it was seriously unusual, but allowed procrastinators like us not to waste the opportunity. We already belong to a gym, but the kids had so much fun here bc it's a really nice and relatively new aquatic center with 2 large areas, one more for "big" kids with several tall slides (1 was not working that day) that were really fun to come down even as an adult. And then another area for the younger ones had tons of "waterfalls" or maybe they should be called water dumps bc basically buckets hanging in mid air would fill up automatically over time and then when they get too heavy they would fall over and dump all the water onto whoever was standing or walking under that spot. It was really fun to play in this area too even as an adult. I was pretty tired that day and standing under the water elements was super relaxing and some of them felt like jets coming down on my shoulders so they were massaging my tired and tight shoulders, and I was so relaxed that I basically stood or sat and took a snooze! 😂 My kids and their newly made friends went up and down the slides over and over so many times and then played chase/tag, although running isn't really allowed, and also swam a lot at the big lap pool that during that afternoon was just for family swim time (that part is not shaded at all) and we also hung out under some shade near the cabana tent seating places that were all occupied very early that day (fcfs). The only thing I really didn't like was that those cabana tents were claimed and people would hog them all day with their stuff even when they weren't there, instead of let others use them or share. The other thing is that although the locker rooms were pretty clean, they were super wet and there's no janitorial staff to mop up occasionally throughout the day. However, the life guards on duty were all very friendly, professionally, and well trained young adults, and they kept everyone safe by firmly but politely correcting misbehaviors etc. Overall, we were very pleasantly surprised by how nice this place is, and although the operating hours are limited, it's still a nice aquatic center we plan to visit again. ☺️

Excellent pool, just as good as the Antelope aquatic center which is also excellent. Better than the Wackford pool in Elk Grove and much better than the Rancho Cordova pools. The little kid area with the open slide was a huge hit with my 3 year old. The line to get in is long. The parking lot is large. We will be back.
