About Downey Recreation Center
If you're in Los Angeles and looking for a public pool, the Downey Recreation Center might be a good fit. It's got a solid 4.3 out of 5 stars from 174 reviews on Google, which tells me most people who go there have a good time. They're open pretty consistently during the week, usually 10 AM to 7 PM, Monday through Friday. Saturdays they close a bit earlier, 9 AM to 2 PM, and they're closed Sundays. So if you're planning a weekend visit, Saturday morning is your window. The center is run by LA Parks, so it's a city facility. You can find it at 1772 N Spring St. It's a pretty big city, almost 4 million people in LA, so I'm sure it gets some use. They do have a phone number, (323) 225-7100, if you need to call ahead. I always recommend that for public pools, hours can change.
