A Pumpkin Patch with a Splash

The city lists swimming, inflatables, an activity structure and Halloween activities for all ages. Participants receive one pumpkin to decorate, while supplies last.

Admission, Registration and Pool Rules

Resident swimmers: $7 preregistered or $10 at the door. Resident spectators ages 18+: $4, without a pumpkin; this option applies only when the child independently passes the swim test. Nonresident fees apply, and space is limited.

If a child fails the swim test, a parent or guardian must pay the swimmer fee, enter the water and stay within arm's reach. The giant inflatable in the 50-meter pool requires a successful swim test; the small Dolphin inflatable in the Activity Pool does not.

Online presale closes Friday, October 16, at 5 p.m. Review the official city listing for updates and registration guidance.

What Should You Bring?

Build your packing list around a swim outing: swimsuits, towels, sunscreen, dry clothes and a bag for wet items. A simple checklist can make the transition from pool time to the rest of your afternoon easier.

Why Explore Local Events When Choosing a Neighborhood?

A community outing can tell you something a listing photo cannot: how a place fits your family's weekends. As you explore San Clemente homes for sale, consider the activities you enjoy, the routes you use and the amenities you want nearby.

I help buyers look beyond square footage and connect their home search with everyday priorities. For sellers, I bring a practical eye for preparation and improvements that can create value.
