And guess what? Admission is totally FREE for everyone! Yes, you heard that right—absolutely no cost to dive in and splash around!

A Refreshing Collaboration

In a fantastic partnership between the City of Stockton and the Manteca Unified School District, this pool opening aims to create a safe and supervised spot for families in South Stockton to have some summer fun. With a vision of making sure that swimming pools are accessible for all, this initiative highlights the importance of equity and safety in our community.

The pool will be open for public swimming every weekend—Saturdays and Sundays—from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. until July 27. So mark your calendars, grab your swimsuits, and get ready to make a splash with family and friends!

Location and Safety First!

You can find the pool located at 4606 McCuen Ave., Stockton, CA 95206. And, to ensure that everyone can enjoy their time without worry, there will be licensed lifeguards on duty at all times. This dedication to safety is a key part of the city’s approach to this exciting new addition to the community.

An enthusiastic city spokesperson highlighted that the partnership was born from a strong desire to expand access to aquatic programs and create experiences filled with joy this summer. This is more than just a pool opening; it’s a commitment to making our neighborhood a better place for everyone.

Good News for Families

The pool is viewed as a tremendous investment in neighborhood wellness, safety, and happiness for families. Whether you want to swim laps, teach your children how to float, or simply escape the sweltering summer sun, there’s something for everyone here. Families in the area now have a refreshing and enjoyable place to spend their weekends.

But that’s not all—this opening aligns with a broader plan. The city is budgeting a serious $4 million for critical repairs across local swimming pools, including will take place at both the Sierra High and Weston Ranch High swimming pools. These repairs are designed to keep all pool facilities safe, clean, and enjoyable for years to come.

Future Improvements on the Horizon

As part of enhancing the aquatic experience, numerous improvements are underway. Recent assessments by Aquatic Design Group uncovered some necessary repairs, including cracking pool decks, rusted and stained surfaces, and needed updates for accessibility compliance. Also, essential pool systems like pumps and heaters are nearing the end of their life cycles and are on the list for necessary updates.

The good news is that a full repair plan is in place! It aims to provide three “new” swimming pools across five of Manteca Unified’s high schools. This means not only a state-of-the-art facility but also an assurance that safety remains the top priority.

So, if you’re looking to cool down and have fun this summer, Weston Ranch High School’s pool is the place to be! For additional options on how to beat the heat this summer, you can check out more information at stocktonca.gov/BeatTheHeat.
