Montanoso Recreation Center & Splash Pad
Mission Viejo, CA
Day use $5 youth (3 mo-13), $10 adults 14+ (2026 official)
By Simir Shah
The city's zero-depth splash pad (interactive sprayers, misters and dumping buckets) runs year-round, next to a 25-yard pool with family rec swim hours. Anyone can buy a day pass, resident or not; kids 6 and under must have an adult 18+ with them, and drop-ins under 18 need a parent to sign them in. Kids 11 and younger must pass a swim test to use the deep end, and only Coast Guard-approved life jackets are allowed.
