Paramount Swap Meet

 

This is considered the biggest daily Swap Meet in the State.  Originally, the property was designed to be used as a two-screen drive-in which explains all the open space. (The drive-in stopped operating in the 1980s according to locals.)  In practical terms this means:  1) expect lots of outdoor walking,  and  2)  dress appropriately -  wear comfortable walking shoes,  sun and/or rain protection.  You might want to even bring a cart for your purchases if you have one.  Come here to buy inexpensive clothing, toys, housewares, accessories, plants, etc.

It is centrally Located Between the 91, 105, 605, &710 Freeways. You will find lots of  parking with waves of shoppers looking to park their vehicles.  Expect the empty  free parking spaces to have disappeared by 9:30 a.m. during the week, earlier on the weekend.  Security guards patrol the parking lot and help to direct traffic flow.  On a typical day, there are several hundred vendors to buy from. There is an admission fee for adults.
