Glen Helen Regional Park is really a great city. I love everything Glen Helen Regional Park especially the diversity. I feel most comfortable there anytime of day and suburbs are nice but quiet after 7 pm. There is so much to do in Glen Helen Regional Park. I love to go there to do yoga but unfortunately because of virus everything seems standstill. Even then its great to visit.

Big Wide Open uncrowded Spaces. Lots of picnic tables and grass and trees for shade. Two lakes to fish. Even a Frisbee Golf Course. The 65,000 seat Amphitheatre also has concerts and Raves

Worst park ever!!! Paid 10 dollar entrance fee, which would have been okay if the park was kept up. It seems at one point there was construction here in the past and the workers left nails nailed into the floor of the parking lot about every two parking spaces (see pics, I took two different ones for clarity). Also weeds and shrub growing in the parking lot. Got flat tires from it. The park is also pretty small for what you get. The waterpark seemed nice, but I didnt visit it. Maybe get COVID???

Plenty of shady spots and benches. People seem to like fishing here, havent tried it myself. You do have to pay to get in but you can see where some of that money is going into the park. My only downside is I would like it to close at sundown instead of 5pm. (Or 7pm would be nice)

Amazing disc golf course with breathtaking views. 18 holes with one par 5 and a few par 4. They do charge you to play here, it’s 8$ on weekdays and 10$ on the weekends. This was such a beautiful and well kept course that I had no problem paying to play here.

One of the few venues to see some of the biggest acts! The sound for Slipknot was absolutely incredible and the fun was off the chain! See pictures and videos!

Amazing location! Nice views. Good wilderness feel even though youre pretty much still within populated city areas. A perfect spot for festivals and events. Camping area is real nice. The water area is perfect for summertime events.

I love this park. I do wish the trail was open and they would bring the paddle boats back. The abondoned building and overgrown trail look bad but the rest of the park is beautiful and its the perfect getaway to spend time outdoors. I also wish they stayed open until sun set! I havent tried the fishing but I have seen people get nice catches.

Lots of space for the kids to run and play. Fishing, hiking, bbq, relaxing its all here. $10 per car on the weekend and $8 during the week. Water Park is opening during the summer time along with night fishing.

Review №17

Fishing was opening, to get in the park youll pay $10, $12 per person to fish even children, if you need bait you pay for that as well. Just look to pay for everything. So bring your own bait.

Water was totally saturated with a fungi that made it look coffee brown. Although it was just stocked with 740 lbs of cats not a single person caught any and I was there all day. I believe water needs to be treated with Copper Sulphate again.

Some of the best disc golf in the county, nice nature trail around the park, and a pool/splash area for the kids

This is a great place for a concert. There is regular Seating and a large green lawn to sit on. The acoustics are good and 4 big screens give you a good view of the stage. I went there for the Art Laboe show live. Really efficient security.

Review №26

The disc golf course is fun, but some of the holes are really long. The fairways and greens on some of the holes on the back nine are not watered, so the grass is very dry and scratchy. If youre a local, its worth it to come for a round, but not if youve gotta drive more than 20 miles or so.

It was a spacious and beautiful park. The sunset behind the mountains created a beautiful purplish glow. The weather here isn’t as bad as it says on any weather app. It was projected to be around 103°F but it felt more like 80°F.

Review №31

Im giving it three stars for it was a beautiful day . The park was clean, the bathrooms were clean. The fishing sucked there was tons of seaweed in there or whatever you want to call. That would have to be my last choice to find somewhere to go fishing.

What can I say my kids love this place been to the water park 6 times this summer. Little pricy however they have increase there prices from 5 dollars to 9 per person. You can barbecue but you have to stay outside of the park not indoor. Yoh can bring a cooler with food. Just no glass container or beer.

I caught a small bluegill and my cousin a large catfish! His friend caught a small catfish but had a really fat stomach it was nice I dont like the price for fishing since we already have fishing license I dont see why we need to pay extra if the park by my house has the same fish and its free !

I went here for Knotfest, and visited the amphitheatre, overall it was clean and had nice seats, however getting out after the show was a mess, we were stuck for 30 minutes not moving, then they had everyone turn around and take the back exit to a old and poorly lit dirt road. Although this wont be a problem unless you were to come to a special event, I still thought I should mention it. Overall the park and amphitheatre was nice and clean, and I would recommend coming here.

Review №43

I had a great time at the Art LaBoe Show 2019 the only problem I had was with how far the parking is from the actual seating, I had to walk in the dirt in my nice shoes by the time we made it to the venue not only was I tired my feet hurt and my shoes were dirty, (bummer) however the concert line up was epic and after a few drinks I forgot all about the walk up until the end of the night and I had to find my way back to the car

Review №44

The lake was supposedly stocked for a fishing derby the week before I went. It was then stocked again the day before. Despite all of these fish reported to be stocked I saw one caught in 4 hours that I was there. There were at least 20 people fishing the big lake. I walked around the smaller lake before leaving and I saw 1 stringer in the water. Hmmmmmm?

Good place for concerts. Lots of room. Sound is ok. Lots of food options. They dont let you in with water but they provide free one once youre in. Also sunscreen is not allowed, but you can get it from the medical tent. Lots of parking.

Cool family spot, or just to get away . 0;)

The concert was great. I think the grounds is a good place to have concerts, as you have ample side areas for other activities, and the seating options are varied. We found our seats easily and enjoyed our time. Seating order was pretty well kept, even with a large crowd in attendance.Some issues I had with my experience might best be attributed to Live Nation and the San Bernardino Sherriffs. I had noticed a young fan throwing up and looked to be in bad shape. No Live Nation staff approached the fan to check on his well being, even though I could see an employee looking at him. They did come by to clean up his vomit much later, and then went in their way. Later on I approached a Live Nation employee and asked them to send a first aid person to check on him, as he still didnt look very good, and they just sent a guy with a broom and dust pan to clean up any new vomit. Eventually, the Live Nation employee I spoke with did approach his friends who vouched that he was ok, but not once did a medic or first aid person come to check on him.Then, once we left the concert, getting out of the parking lot was literally the worst parking experience Ive even had. We sat for an hour, not moving, and with no idea what was going on. Concert goers finally found their own way around the bottleneck, but with no direction from any sheriff. It was a free for all, and it was very frustrating. We finally got out of the parking lot after 80 minutes.Im not sure Id ever return to this venue again, even though the concert itself was a good time.

Went to the water park on Saturday. The water slides were closed because lifeguards didnt show up to work. I drove from Pomona to just let my family swim. Ridiculous. And we only got $4 off from the entrance fee. It should be half price since the slides werent running. The pool was all slimy when you walk in it. Thats just disgusting. That should be scrubbed at least a couple times a week.

Parking is so expensive. With barely any security. No one directing traffic. But certainly they do have 5 people charging $40 to get in the parking. 3 port o potties for a crowd of 17,000. My seats were in a lodge are and everything was fine.I noticed that the lawn area doesn’t have much of security and is very dark. Doesn’t feel safe at all. Doubt I will be attending any concerts there anymore.

The park is great and would get 5* if it wasnt that we stayed at the camping grounds and that wasnt so great.The park is beautiful, clean, well kept and very large so its easy to find a quiet spot. The lake is pretty and clean; fishing is allowed but no swimming. There is a whole water park there too but we didnt go. Its too bad we cant write 2 separate reviews. Camp site users get free entry to the park, just need to get a pass from the parking booth at gate 1 of the park.The camp grounds is a different story than the park. They have some sites with hookups and others without. We took one with because they told us the no hookup dont have any shade. Well, the ones with hookup dont have much shade either. The ground is dirt, not very comfortable with a tent. The place is nestled between 2 major freeways, a highway and railroad tracks that have trains at night. First we thought it was helicopters flying by, it took us a while to figure out the noise comes from trains. The place is super noisy, earplugs may not be enough for light sleepers. There are lots of red ants, the picture of the foot is a bite from one of those fiery bugs. Other that the bathrooms were clean and the place kept up. Showers are $1.00 for 5 minutes. The thing we really didnt like is the dragon lady in charge of the grounds. The first night she came up to us saying hi, Im the grounds manager, who are you? The next morning she barked at us for letting our dog loose in a large area with no one around. We dont like unfriendly people when we are camping (or any other time for that matter).

The lake was beautiful,but if youre handicap and want to fish you have to pay for parking even if youre only dropping off, rancho jurupa regional Park does not charge to drop off a handicapped person to fish, so be ready to pay no matter what at Glen Helen

I love this place. Been coming here since mayhemFest was a thing, and now ozzKnot..The venue improves every year, they always add more porta potties and the restrooms are always being cleaned by the staff. Staff is always helpful, the venue is very large as well. The only thing I would complain is that they dont have enough water fountains but they allow you to bring your our water in anyways.

Today is Mar 8 2018! Yesterday my son and I went fishing there from 12 noon until closing! It was extremely bad for fishing, even though theyve claimed that Trout were stocked back on Feb 25 2018!!!Every Trout anglers with me had no action at all!Ive moved around to multiple spots! Ive cast far into the middle of the pond! Ive cast just 5-feet right in front of the water weeds in front of me! Ive used all colors of PowerBait nuggets, Trout Magnets, Trout Worms! And still nothing!!!Glen Helen, are you guys really sure it was stocked?!?! In closing, so stay away all of my Angler brothers & sisters! However, if you just want to go there and do everything else then by all means go. That park is an excellent choice, guys

Review №99

Beautiful park with amazing mountain views and massive shady trees to sit down and have a picnic at. There are many charcoal barbeque stations, tables and trash cans around and for larger venues you are able to reserve a huge shelter. There is a nice walking path that takes you around the two fishing lakes. The lake could be kept cleaner, and its sad to see that the park isnt at its full potential with a few buildings seemingly out of order. Otherwise its a great park for birthday parties and theres even a water park open in the summer.
