About Allied Gardens Recreation Center
With a 4.5 star rating from almost 300 reviews, the Allied Gardens Recreation Center in San Diego seems to be doing things right. It's a public spot in a big city, with over a million people living there, so I'd expect it to get some decent traffic. They keep pretty good hours, open every day, even Sundays for a few hours in the afternoon. If you're looking for an evening swim, they're open until 8 PM most weekdays. Fridays they close a bit earlier, 7 PM, and Saturdays are a shorter day, until 4 PM. From what I see, it looks like a solid option for anyone in the San Diego area looking for a regular swimming spot.
