About Van Buskirk Pool
Honestly, 3.9 out of 5 from 87 reviews isn't bad for a city pool. We're talking about the Van Buskirk Pool in Stockton, California. It's an outdoor spot, which means it's a good choice for summer when you need to cool down. They've got lifeguards on duty, which is always a good sign for public safety, and showers available. Parking is another basic they cover. It's run by the city, so you'll pay summer recreation swim fees. Stockton's got a population of over 320,000, so I imagine this place gets a fair amount of use during the warmer months. If you're in the area and looking for a straightforward outdoor swim, it's worth checking out.
