Stoner Park Swimming Pool — Attraction in Los Angeles

Short Review: great place for families.

Long Review: know the rules and know that they will not bend or break them for you... liability issues.

As of summer 2018 it was $1 for kids $3.50 for adults. No more discounts with a library card. Everyone entering the pool must have swimwear. No white tops and shorts must have inner lining. No jeans/jean shorts, basketball, soccer, leggings... must be swimwear. Babies/Toddlers must wear swim diapers. Anyone under the age of 7 must have an adult within hands distance at all times with a 1 on 1 ratio. That means one adult per child under 7.

Hours of operation and opening/closing days vary due to funding. In summer 2018 the pool was open one month longer on weekends only. Do not go by the hours posted on google. Anyone can get on and change the hours with false information. Call their office to get the right information. Do not call the recreation's office as they don't always get the information (2 different departments, Recreation & Aquatics).

There is street parking (read the signs) but street cleaning and permit parking limits parking on Thursdays and Fridays. The parking lot can fill up quick with patrons and people who are cheap and don't want to pay $0.50 to park at their gym.

There is no shady area or a place to have lunch/picnic in the pool area. Reason is to keep the area as clean as possible and not mess with the filtration system. If you want to have lunch/picnic, there are plenty of areas within the park. Note, summer lunch program uses the picnic area to distribute lunches from 12pm-12:45pm and only kids are allowed in that area.

I hope this helps people so they're not surprised when they visit. If you have any questions, call the office when they open summer 2019. It's usually when LAUSD is on summer break. You're looking at early June...

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...

Yesterday, I tried calling all day for information on the pool but no one picked up. I figured they were busy and that I would just talk to someone when I arrived. I drove through an hour and a half of traffic with my kids just to find out that the pool was closed due to a strike. My kids were very disappointed. We ended up finding another pool in Santa...
