About Southside Pool
Honestly, 64 reviews and a 4 out of 5 sounds pretty good for a public pool. Southside Pool is right there at 2115 6th St in Sacramento. It's an outdoor spot, which is typical for a city pool in California. They've got lifeguards, which is a big plus for families, and showers, so you can rinse off before and after your swim. The best part? It's free to get in for recreation swim. That's a huge deal, especially with a city population of over half a million people in Sacramento. It being in a park setting is generally a nice bonus, offering some green space around the pool deck. You can usually find a bit more shade and a place to spread out than at some other city pools. From my experience researching pools, free admission means it can get busy, but that also tells me it's a popular choice for a lot of folks looking to cool off.
