Mission Pool in San Francisco, California

“Just a block from Mission Dolores Park, and around the corner from trendy shopping and restaurants on Valencia St, I would have never guessed that there was an outdoor pool right there in the heart of the city. The building itself could use some updating. The locker rooms definitely have *character*- there is all kinds of wood paneling, and orange and red tiling in the showers and walls.

“Hidden gem of an outdoor swimming pool in the heart of the Mission district. It's often pleasant weather with sun right there, during the foggy Summer months in SF. Unfortunately the hours it's open (for lap swimming and for recreational swimming) are quite limited - I was told this is mostly because SF City doesn't want to pay the lifeguards who monitor it. This seems weird to me as the City wastes so much money els”
