This particular spot is marked as a playground, and it is not a playground. This is the headquarters there are other playgrounds on the campus, but not at this particular spot so it’s very misleading.

Castaic lake and the Lagoon are different bodies of water right next to each other. The lagoon has 2 swim areas for kids with lifeguards on duty in the water, by the water and in the towers. Although it’s a lagoon, they have a chlorine drop that helps keep the water clean. You can also fish ( or in the swim areas) for sunfish, bluegill and bass here. My son caught a sunfish 5 minutes fishing by the floating dock. By the way, don’t get on there or you will get yelled at. lol Recommend getting here early to get a good parking spot. The bathrooms were very clean at the beginning but got trashed near the end of the day. I recommend getting your business done before noon. We brought our small dog here without a problem. We didn’t take him to the water and assume you can’t. There are some vendors here that stop by randomly. Raspados, elotes or ice cream for the hot days.

Always a great place to enjoy the lagoon. Always make sure your water toys are dry before checking in with the launching station. Swim beach is always a popular spot. Water is nice.

Had a great day at this beautiful park. Not many people there so I broke the rules and let my little dog run free. She had a great time as did we all. Super clean park. Thanks to the staff
