Stoner Park Swimming Pool
📍 Sawtelle, CA
Affordable seasonal outdoor pool with water slide, perfect for young children learning to swim. City-run facility with swim lessons and excellent value entry.
It’s only $1 for kids and $4 for adults for essentially a mini-waterpark. City run place. Definitely more than a “splash pad;” it’s a very very shallow slope from one side of the pool deck down to 3 or 4 ft deep with the deep part sectioned off for a couple swimming lanes. Lots of neat water features in the shallow parts. Can’t think of a better place to get young non-swimmers used to water. They have restrooms, changing rooms, and quarter-feed lockers. Normal park right next door, and also a skate park. Parking is usually pretty easy. Only open during the summer though, and hours can be inconsistent so check the schedule on the website.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with young children learning to swim, offering excellent value at just $1-4 entry. However, single parents may struggle with the one-child-per-adult rule, and unreliable opening hours make this a risky choice without calling ahead.

“My son loved it and it wasn't too crowded. What gives it a 3 is one of the lifeguards who was an older man he was very overbearing, and made it uncomfortable to enjoy. Hovered way too unnecessarily”
