I don't see why not.
However, most plants cannot tolerate high levels of salt, so you may wind up killing your lawn or other local vegetation.
Additional answer: yes, it is safe to drain a salt water pool into the ground. Refer to posts on draining a pool in general before you attempt this. The concentration of salt in a salt water pool is slightly saline, at about 2700-3400ppm as opposed to the ocean which is at 35000ppm.
Certain plants/animals can obviously tolerate salt water better than others, so you may have some issues, but in general the levels should be low enough not to cause too many problems./

How to drain pool water properly and efficiently?
To drain a pool properly and efficiently, locate the drain valve at the bottom of the pool and attach a hose to it. Make sure the hose is long enough to reach a safe drainage area.

I have a pebble pool I would like to empty it is it safe to do that?
You have to be careful about emptying any in-ground pool. Normally they have a hydrostatic valve in the deepest part of the pool in case there is ground water built up around the outside of the pool. If there is the valve will allow ground water into the pool. if there isn't there is a good chance that the pool will start to float in the ground water. In effect the only thing you have to worry about is that there is no water under the pool if there is you will need to find a way of getting rid of it before emptying the pool.
Is it safe to completely drain an above the ground pool and fill it back up with new water?
I would think that a partial drain of the water would be best here mainly because of the liner age and shrinkage. If the liner pops out during or after draining you are most likely going to have to replace the liner.

A pool's main drain has a plug in it at the bottom of the pool why is a plug in it to keep it from sucking properly?
Assuming that the pool in question is in-ground - The plug is a valve which allows underground water to enter the pool. The reason for the spring loaded valve to let water enter the pool is that if there were a large amount of water underground the pool eventually could be lifted when the ground freezes or when the pool is emptied. Main drains have two (2) holes one at the bottom and one at the side.. Most are plump from the sides.. Plug in main drain Depending on the brand of main drain it could have two holes, one for a suction line and the other for a hydrostatic relief plug or valve. Or perhaps the second line is used to balance a skimmer? How about all of the above? Your pool pro may be the smart move here. Of course it could have only one Or perhaps a line is plugged because it was leaking in the past and it was not affordable to fix for the previous owner. If the main drain itself is indeed sucking water, here is the most important question, is the cover on secure and safe? Is the cover a safety cover?
