Rengstorff Park Aquatics Center in Mountain View, California

“I’m a Life-time 51 year old Mountain View / Los Altos resident and taxpayer who grew up flipping off the boards at the old Rengstorff pool and chasing coconut ice cream pops from the park vendor. When the new $29 million Aquatics Center opened this summer—with its 13-foot dive pool, with one, and three-meter boards—I was thrilled.

“Firstly only $7 for non-resident drop in entry fee. Just slightly more expensive than my coffee that morning. Bay Area bargain! It’s only been open for a month so it’s brand spanking new.

“Reasonable swimming pool with decent rates. The locker area makes no sense at all: too small and too few benches.”

“Great pool! 25 yard lap swimming track and good water quality (no strong chlorine smell). The locker room and shower facilities are awesome.”

“Great that they reopened. The changing rooms are surprisingly small with only two tiny benches, such an odd choice. The zero depth pool is great for the little ones.”
