YMCA Aquatic Park at Agua Hedionda Lagoon
We only publish photos we have permission to share.
The Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA rents its lagoon aquatic park in 4-hour 'Swim Birthday Party Lagoon Rental' sessions (9:30am-1:30pm or 2:30-6:30pm; both can be combined for a full day) for $822 per session for nonmembers, with membership discounts. The rental includes two lifeguards for up to 50 swimmers or kayakers, inflatable slides, kayaks, life jackets, showers and restrooms; an extra lifeguard for 25 more people is $187/hour. Guests must be 6+ and non-members are welcome, but booking needs a YMCA online account, and as of September 27, 2026 the Y's registration system lists no lagoon rental dates (the last one listed was September 25).
