Cucamonga-Guasti Regional Park

8 dollars for parking? The park is run down… the parking lot will give you a flat tire. Unless you can park elsewhere and walk in… don’t bother!

I really like this place! Honestly it could use some major upkeep and some cleaning but what’re you gonna do? It’s a perfect spot for a day of fishing, lunch, as well as a relaxing day enjoying some fresh air. My grandpa absolutely loves coming here! We always buy him a fishing license & an annual pass so he can go fishing whenever he wants.
BUT I really don’t understand why even with an annual pass you still have to pay for parking each time. They would not allow us to pay for a year of parking. He doesn’t mind it but I mean really? He has a license & a pass. Parking also can be a nightmare. people park like crap. People are also very territorial and really act like they’re about to catch jaws. Like chill dude you can only have two poles per person. not like I’m the fishing pole police but don’t hog an entire side of the lake with 5 poles all spaced out. Some douche did that last time and guess what? My grandpa caught 2 catfish and you caught nothing! So ha! Shove that in your tackle box & smoke it.
We don’t eat the fish so we normally catch and release. (I for one do not like this but this is not a time to be a peta advocate). So the last few times we have given the fish to people who actually will eat them. We met a really kind gentlemen last time and we helped him with his line and vice versa. We gave him both catfish we caught that were about 7 lbs.
We went night fishing one time and it was really cool! There were a lot of people due to the fact they had just filled the lake & blocked off day fishing to reserve the fish. People were honestly catching fish left and right it was awesome. We also participated in the raffle and my grandpa won a free pass for fishing (this was before we got the annual pass so it was cool). My step mom and I went to the raffle for him to get his prize because we all couldn’t leave our spot plus we never win. They announced my grandpas name and I went to claim it.
The woman really said he has to be there to claim it? She was about to say he can’t win because he wasn’t there.
Now I know those are the rules but my grandpa is handicapped, had TKR surgery, and it’s painful for him to walk far. Other people really wanted to try and say that wasn’t fair so I said fine. I’ll have my handicapped grandfather walk over and get it don’t worry. THEN she wants to say no no no it’s fine. No. he’s coming. So thanks for making him walk around the entire lake. Like come on. make exceptions for elderly people who are disabled. So I made an example and hopefully they make an exception in the future.
Make sure to come early & bring some bug spray. It gets pretty cold at night so if you go night fishing bring a jacket!

Nice park to spend the day with your family.

This review is based on their doggy pool-​ooza event,
This was our first time at this event and it will definitely be our last! The experience was terrible! Not soon after letting our three «non-​agressive» huskies off leash, like the place allows you to. A man yelled at me and my girlfriend, because our dogs got to close to his dog and apparently showed signs of aggression «his dog was a pitbull, who was leashed up with a giant heavy chain» the man then threatened me saying he will kick my ass if I didn’t leave the area. Keep in mind this is a FAMILY FRIENDLY pool area/​event ! We got a hold of the lady in charge of the event, thinking she will actually do SOMETHING about the situation. Instead she asks us if we could keep our dogs away from the corner this man and his dog were sitting at. WTF. really this is how they handle a threatening situation?! The man threatened me saying he will Beat me up and knock me on my ass ! And their solution is to stay away from him and his dogs «area», when his dog was actually the one growling at my dog. «Poor dog Probably because he was chained up while the rest of the dogs were running around having a good time». All three of our dogs are friendly and socialized. They go to the dog park every day because of their high energy levels so they know how to socialize and be around other dogs.
We definitely left and definitely demanded a refund. We will also never return. This was a terrible experience and absolutely believe someone like that should be asked to leave. so I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE COME TO THIS EVENT, your safety is clearly not cared for here. Also the front gate was kept wide open which made no sense. While arriving a man was chasing after his dog because he had escaped through the gate.
After ward I realized the man who threatened me was probably with one of the vendors because the lady at the leash stand right next to him was also yelling at us! She was clearly on the man’s side for some reason. So my opinion is that’s why they were favored more than we were.

I’ve been here before… had a good time. The pool entrance is usually $ 5 per person. Well today is labor day weekend and to my surprise we pull up to pay for our $ 10 parking fee. And are greeted by a large sign saying the pool entrance is $ 15 per person. Well I have 3 kids and that would of been $ 45! Um… I don’t think so. Talk about taking advantage. I’m sorry but I would rather take my kids to raging waters for that price. So now I have a disappointment car full of kids. I’ll think twice about coming on a holiday now.

Was this place a joke? Worst «park» I’ve ever seen. Paid $ 5 a person to walk in (with a family of 5 and two dogs). Nothing was upkept, the lakes were nasty with trash floating on the sides. We were looking for the big lake and then realized it was right in front of us — a small pond with people fishing around so it smelled bad too. We saw a sizable, dead fish floating too. Sad and disgusting. We did see rangers walking around but no one took care of it Definitly not a relaxing place. Free, public parks are all over that are more properly kept and with a more family friendly setting. Go there or to the mountains instead. So sad to see this patch of land go to waste with such poor upkeep.

This park is expensive for what it is. You pay through your taxes, then pay for parking, then pay to go into the pool area, then pay for the water slides, for fishing, for the bikes that go on the lake, and other fees as well. You would think that with all these fees the park would be immaculate! This is not the case. When i went there was trash on the lake and on the grass. There was also a dead duck floating in the water. Very sad! With all those fees they should pay someone to clean the park.

Good water park but the only thing i hate is those
is kind of a dangerous water park because some kids could drown in their lake.

Can’t say I was surprised. The county of San Bernardino really needs to work on the facilities it provides for its community members (which are sparse).
This park in particular was unimpressive– there was a couple small lakes and a «lagoon» beside it.
I came here to swim. $ 10 for parking and $ 5 to use the pool. Another 5 $ to ride the slide.
This means that if you have a family of four, you end up paying 50 $ just to swim in an overcrowded pool. Ridiculous!
Just go hiking in the mountains instead. That’s free.

This park is GREAT, especially considering that you pay $ 10.00 for parking (weekends. It’s $ 8.00 weekdays).
Once inside this huge park, you can bike ride, kite fly, let the children play in the playground or «water park», you can go fishing (trout during the spring time), BBQ, play sports… what I’m trying to say is that there is plenty of open space with enough trees/​shaded areas too, and you can do a LOT once you’re here.
I came for an Easter event held through the County of San Bernardino, so there was also that going on while I was visiting.
The playground is big enough, with enough play apparatus for the abundance of kids to not be shoving, pushing or fighting over. Ditto for the «water park» area (which has plenty of different things spraying and shooting water all over the place).
The ducks that have made this park their home are pretty friendly as well (expecting a snack or two from you prior to earning their trust). This is nice for children who are very curious (like my two year old). They can find plenty of entertainment following the ducks around the huge park.
I really like the fact that the park is completely fenced/​gated in and always has one or two Sheriff’s at the gate should you need them. You feel pretty safe here. Overall, I really like this park and plan on holding a family and friend type BBQ here one day soon.

At first i thought this park was great. When we got to the play area, the sand was so rough, the slides went very slow and the kids there were out of control. They have a spinning toy in the middle of the park which as a kid they were fun, but the amount of kids on at once wasn’t very safe. There were a lot of bad kids jumping over my son and no parents around to watch. We got there at 4:00 and the park closed at five, parking was 10 bucks and i had to pay the full price for 45 mins of fun. The park was alright overall, i would go back as a last min idea.

The fishing here is a little more outstanding… than bad! Nice sitting areas with plenty of trees.

My first time at this park and my first time fishing with my family. We had a great time definitely coming back and hopefully. Next time i do catch some fish. My little one had a nice time at the water play ground and made a friend. We had a lovely day.

$ 8 for passenger cars to enter on weekdays. Weekend is $ 10. The park does not sell fishing license. The fee to fish at this park is $ 8 per person 16 years + and you need a valid fishing license. Can bring your own grill or use one at the park. We were there on January 2,2015 the sign noted it’s Trout season. As I drove to find parking I saw a gentleman walking with a huge fish looks about 3ft long. There were lots of people fishing that day. I went only for the children’s play area. Most of the play structure are filled with sand. The equipment seem to be well kept. The play structure is just a few yards from the fishing pond. As parents can sit back by the lake and still can keep an eye on the kids at the playground. If you plan to fish during the hot months make sure to bring something to shade your self. I see the park offer food options at the concession stand as well. During the winter months the water slide and boat rentals are closed for the season. The water spout play area still works for those that want to get wet in the winter months by just pushing a button. My kids enjoyed this park we will be back next time to try our hands on fishing.

This review is based on their Doggie Pool-​ooza event.
My first time at this park was for the Doggie Pool-​ooza event, where they invite the dogs in for a swim before they close the pool down at the end of summer.
It’s an awesome little park with a water play area for kids, picnic areas, and a grassy area.
The pool isn’t your traditional pool, instead it’s a gradual decline in, much as if you were at the beach or lake. Not quite sure how deep it goes, as we weren’t allowed in past our knees.
It was a great event, and i was impressed to see that the dogs were all really well behaved. Can’t wait to go back next year.

The park is nice! Some people there are nice, and some are hella ghetto and rude. I had to remind my kids that some children are raised differently and they don’t know manners. Overall I had a nice experience. It’s clean and there’s ample convenient parking. I like that it’s $ 10 a car on the weekend, no matter how many people you have in your car. It’s a nice place to hang on a lazy weekend when you’re waiting for traffic to die.

Pretty cool park you can fish. The kids and can get wet there’s also a pool you can rent little boats this was my first time here will definitely be back

I am here for the 2014 Huck Finn Jubilee Bluegrass Festival… I’m not sure this is the best venue for such an event (Partially sponsored by Unilocal!) but the park itself is clean, shiny and well-​kept. I like to see city government money spent for the proper things… and a park like this is what makes a place a place worth living in.
The festival (did I mention, partially sponsored by Unilocal!??) is a bit miscast here… the old festival was a more rustic location out in Victorville — a proper venue for many year. There are many reasons why it moved to Ontario… and I was not sure I would like it. It’s a little «too manicured» — too «plastic» — too «fake» (fake lake is nice but not natural looking) … but for a place to enjoy the outdoors on a nice day with the famiy (great for kids!!) — I have to give it high marks.
I traveled from Salt Lake City to get here… not sure if I will be back next year.

Very nice, clean and well managed park.
Beautiful view of the mountain, children playground and the lake view is very breathtaking. Suitable for all ages —
For big group to have a picnic, parties and any gathering.

This is a wonderful place to picnic with family or BBQ with a large group of friends. This is a very large park. You can even fish here! They have a swim park along side everything else. I believe you can rent the large covered picnic areas with grills for company picnics, great idea.
